DAX and Filters

I'm a seeking input on 'best practices' for getting to the following -

I have loaded an Excel table to PowerBI desktop.

I've created a few measures (Average Wait Time, Average Number of Incidences).

I've created a Table for time based on  - Solved: Slicer with time - Microsoft Power BI Community

Function Need:
The average wait-time for a day of the week.
       - For example, the wait-time for every Monday for specific month, for quarter, year, year-over-year for four consecutive years.

A filter for average 'Wait-Time' for a specific day.
       - For example, if I want to know the wait-time for every December 31 or a given year, and December 31 looking back over all
         years.

Identify outliers such as holidays, super bowl, that may impact 'Wait-Time'.

I can start with a card with the aveerage 'Wait-Time' in it. I chart/graph is also desired.

The beauty of measures is that they work for the "current filter context".  So one measure can cover all these variations.
