Compare Row Value to Overall Average Respecting Slicer Filters

Hi there,

 

i have a table in the following format:

IDDim1Dim2ConversionsOverall Avg
abc123type1blue33.67
abc456type2red53.67
cd4987type2green33.67

 

I would like to compare the individual row's conversion values to the overall average of conversions. BUT this calculation should respect filters set by slicers. So, for example, there might be a slicer on the page with a dropdown for dim1 and another one with a dropdown for dim2. If the user selects one of these dropdown values, the overall average should be recalculated.

 

What I want as the expected outcome is a measure that changes whenever one of the slicers is changed.

 

So far I've only managed to create a measure that gives me the overall average IGNORING the slicers, so for example in the table above the overall average would be 3.67. If the slicer for Dim1 is set to "type2", I want the measure for the overall average to recalculate and output 4.

 

Any combination of CALCULATE, ALLEXCEPT, ALL, FILTER... and so on that I've tried so far either only returned 3.67 all of the time, ignoring the slicers or just returned the average of the individual rows.

 

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

do not respect filter
