This is a classic issue and is to do with your use of Avg(). The "Total" is not a sum of all the other totals but the average across all dimension values. With an average this will most likely be different. In the attached file I have copied the pivot table as a straight table for you and added the same expression, but this time selected "Sum of rows" for the total (you can't do this in a pivot table).
