Divide each row value to the average of the column

Hello,

 

I want to calculate the square difference between the discount at row level vs. average of the column discount. Can you please help me with a function that calculates this?

 

Note that I want to be able to change filters and columns, so the measure should dynamically calculate: Average Discount - Column Total Average Discount, regardless of the other filters or columns I add to the visual.

 

Data looks like this:

Account NameOpportunityAverage DiscountAverage difference
ABC166.72%1,61%
ABC260.40%-4.71%
ABC362.65%etc.
ABC478.80% 
CDE553.10% 
CDE653.10% 
CDE668.18% 
CDE775.04% 
CDE868.00% 
  65.11% 

 

Appreciate any help.

@ChPetru,

 

Try this measure:

 

Average Difference = 
VAR vAvgDiscount =
    MAX ( Table1[Average Discount] )
VAR vTotalAvgDiscount =
    CALCULATE ( AVERAGE ( Table1[Average Discount] ), ALLSELECTED () )
VAR vResult = vAvgDiscount - vTotalAvgDiscount
RETURN
    vResult
