Calculate average by group which is unaffected by date slicer

Hi there,

 

I am new here and I need your help.

 

Let's say we have the following dataset:

 

DateNameShiftMeasure
2/06/2022Nick

morning 

34
2/06/2022Georgemorning45
2/06/2022Lisamorning 23
2/06/2022Marymorning14
3/06/2022Nick

night

35
3/06/2022Georgenight24
3/06/2022Lisanight34
3/06/2022Marynight17

   

 

I would like a measure for conditional formatting purposes. So I want the all-time average of each type of shift. Then on my performance report, I want to show their stats in green color if they are above the average and red if they are below. In other words, if my report is for 3/06/2022, I want this measure to give me the all-time average of night shifts only and be unaffected by the selected date "3/06/2022". 
 
I hope it makes sense.
 
Thank you in advance.

Hi  @vazou19 ,

I created some data:

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create calculated table.

Table 2 =
DISTINCT('Table'[Date])

2. Create measure.

AVG =
var _select=SELECTEDVALUE('Table 2'[Date])
var _selectshift=
MAXX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Date]=_select),[Shift])
return
AVERAGEX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Date]<>_select&&'Table'[Shift]=_selectshift),[Measure])
color =
IF(
    MAX('Table'[Measure]) >=[AVG],"green","red")

3. Select [Measure] – Conditional formatting – Background color.

4. Format style – Field value – [color]

5. Result:

vyangliumsft_4-1662356891049.png

@vazou19 , a new measure

Calculate(AverageX(Summarize(Table,Table[Date], Table[Name], "_1",[Measure]) , [_1]), Filter(all(Table), Table[Shift] = max(Table[Shift]) ))

Thank you for the prompt reply.

 

However, it doesn't let me write the [measure]. It gives me only the [date] and [name] options. Any thoughts?

 

Thanks
