Compare AGGR Expression to Embedded AGGR

[jasonfu]

Given the dataset below, I've been trying (and failing) to calculate the number of bicycle transactions with a total price above the average of all bicycle transactions for each state. I would also like to be able to calculate the total dollars above the average.

It seems like the AGGR used in my inequality condition doesn't evaluate properly, but if I use the exact same AGGR Avg expression in its own expression in the straight table to check its results it calculates properly.  So I feel like something funky is going on once it gets placed into the outer AGGR.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Results I would like 
I can't get Transactions  > Avg or Dollars Over Avg to work

State	Bicycle Transactions	Bicycle Transaction Price	Avg Bicycle Transaction Price	Transactions > Avg	Dollars Over Avg
CA	4	920	230	2	240
OR	1	245	245	0	0
WA	1	200	200	0	0

Existing Expressions that work

Bicycle Transactions =COUNT(DISTINCT {$<Item={'Bicycle'}>} TransactionID)

Bicycle Transaction Price =SUM({$<Item={'Bicycle'}>}Price)

Avg Bicycle Transaction Price =AVG(AGGR(SUM({$<Item={'Bicycle'}>}Price), TransactionID))

Existing Expressions that don't work

Transactions > Avg
=SUM(
   AGGR(
      IF(
         SUM({$<Item={'Bicycle'}>}Price)
         > AVG(AGGR(SUM({$<Item={'Bicycle'}>}Price), TransactionID, State))
         , 1
         , 0
      )
      , TransactionID
   )
)

Dollars Over Avg

=SUM(
   AGGR(
      IF(
         SUM({$<Item={'Bicycle'}>}Price)
         > AVG(AGGR(SUM({$<Item={'Bicycle'}>}Price), TransactionID, State))
         , SUM({$<Item={'Bicycle'}>}Price)
           - AVG(AGGR(SUM({$<Item={'Bicycle'}>}Price), TransactionID, State))
         , 0
      )
      , TransactionID
   )
)

Jason, have a look at the following Design Blog post, it may be helpful on this one:

Here is the base URL to the site if you want to do some further searching for other posts on AGGR too, I grabbed the most likely one to help, but there are others too!
