Calculate the share of a value over a subtotal in an Excel data model (DAX)

Hello all, my problem is the following.

I have a data sheet with the following columns:

The column "Plant" contains information in text.
The column "Customer" contains information in text.
The column "Qty" contains the number of delivered parts and is a number.
The column "PN" contains the number of part numbers and is a text or number, but is interpreted as text.

One characteristic in “plant” can have several characteristics in “customer”

One characteristic in “Customer” can have several characteristics in “PN”.

I created a data model from this excel table (because I needed the "discrete count" for the pivot table field setting). In this data model I created a pivot table. The pivot table has the “plant” column and the “customer” column as lines, with the “plant” being the first column and “customer” being the second. In the values of the pivot I have the sum of “Qty” and the discrete count of “PN” for each characteristic of “customer” per characteristic of “plant”. I then created a measure called “Avg” that divides the column “Qty” by the column “ PN” per line, which gives me the average number of delivered parts per unique part number.

In this data model I want to create another measure in the pivot table. The measure shall divide the value of "Avg" per characteristic of "Customer" by the subtotal of the "Plant" column for all characteristics of "Customer".

How do I write this measure?

Please see the table below for visualization. The column "Share of Plant average (Measure)" is what I want to create with a measure in the pivot.

The measure "Avg Qty per PN (Measure)" is calculated by dividing "Sum of Qty" by "Count of PN". The measure I want to replicate in Excel data model / DAX is "Share of Plant average (Measure)". It is calculated by dividing the "Avg Qty per PN (Measure)" by the subtotal of the respective plant. In the first line, it's calculated by dividing 3.333 by 4.500.

Plant	Customer	Sum of Qty	Count of PN	Avg Qty per PN (Measure)	Share of Plant average (Measure)
1	A	10.000	3	3.333	74%
1	B	20.000	5	4.000	89%
1	C	15.000	2	7.500	167%
1 subtotal		45.000	10	4.500
2	C	10.000	8	1.250	57%
2	D	8.000	5	1.600	73%
2	E	15.000	2	7.500	341%
2 subtotal		33.000	15	2.200
3	A	9.000	4	2.250	129%
3	D	10.000	8	1.250	71%
3	F	13.000	3	4.333	248%
3	G	12.000	9	1.333	76%
3 subtotal		35.000	20	1.750

I changed the pictore with the actual table. At first I used a table, but it somehow was distorted after inserting, so I changed it to a screenshot.
