How to make a slicer for parameter which takes on average value of columns

Hi,

 

I am transitioning from Tableau to Powerbi and am stuck on a problem. 

I made a parameter that takes the average values of certain columns to filter visuals.

 

Please have a look at the below pictures to understand better.

I want to replicate the same in Powerbi and cannot do so by making a parameter.

 

This is the KPI Parameter that I created in Tableau

How it is applied in creating a chart in Tableau

The parameter in action:

Please help with any hints and suggestions that I can use to resolve this. Currently, this is what I did to replicate:

Hey, thank you for your response. I did the same but I need averages of the values that are going to be put as parameter fields. I am not able to do that.

Can you help me in this aspect?

@imaindia You want to select any slicer and that slicer value passes in the parameter? if I am not wrong.

@Mahesh0016 

 

Let me explain a bit more clearly, apologies if I was not clear.

 

I have a dashboard with multiple visuals which are connected to this parameter. So for example

In this dashboard I want these 2 visuals to be controlled with the help of the parameter selected KPI

for eg when I select numdirectors the average of numdirectors should be taken for the visuals.

similarly when promoters is selected both the visuals now show value with average of promoters.

 

I hope I am able to convey the query clearly now.
