Help controlling/limiting filter interactions between two visuals

I'm trying to enable filter behavior that I can't figure out for the life of me.

Importantly: I am looking for a solution that does not involve adding a new table to my data model.

My scenario is: 

  • I have a table with two dimensions (let's say product and segment) and a measure
  • I have another bar chart with just one of the dimensions (segment)

I would like to only pass the filter on Product from the table to the bar chart. If I disable the filtering on segment in the calculation, using ALL(), then I get the expected result of the same value for all segments. 

I'm also slightly confused why ALLEXCEPT() doesn't achieve my goal here, either. I would like to calculate the units for all rows, except those filtered by the product field, as:

 

CALCULATE( SUM( financials[Product] ), ALLEXCEPT( financials, financials[Product] ) )

 

Thanks for any help or insights you can provide.

Can you share a pbix file with dummy data to see your table?

Thanks! I am unable to upload a file. For reference, the workbook and screenshots I posted use the sample dataset packaged with PowerBI -- from the `financials` table.
