Trouble removing filters from the output of a virtual table calculation

Hello All, I cannot share a PBIX but I have data in the following format:

 

'Instance data'

 

ID Date Team Category Duration
1 01/01/2010 1 X 5
2 01/01/2010 1 X 10
3 01/01/2010 2 X 8
4 01/02/2010 1 Y 6
5 01/02/2010 2 X 3
6 01/02/2010 2 Y 5
7 01/02/2010 3 Y 2

 

'Team data'

 

Team Team Name
1 A
2 B
3 C

 

I have a 1 to many relationship on the Team columns.

 

I have the following measures for analysing category 'X' entries....

Short = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Instance data'), Category = "X", AND(Duration > 0, Duration <6))
Total = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Instance data'), Category = "X", Duration > 0)

 

I have then created the following measure to get the average percentage of short id's (short/total), per day, per team, in the last year.

 

Team Average % = 

 

VAR _startdate = EOMONTH(TODAY(), 13) + 1

VAR _table = ADDCOLUMNS(SUMMARIZE(FILTER('Instance data', Date >= _startdate), Date, 'Team data'Team Name), "New column", [Short]/[Total])

 

RETURN

 

CALCULATE(AVERAGEX(_table, [New column]))

 

The above appears to be working correctly and allows me to view the averages for each team over the previous year in a table. (Year, Month, Team Name, Team Average)

 

Year Month Team Name Team Average
2010 01 A 7.5
2010 01 B 8
2010 02 A 6
2010 02 B 4
2010 02 C 2

 

For the purposes of further calculations, I now want to add a further column to that table that gives me the overall average for the year. I thought this would be as simple as creating a copy of the above measure but changing the final line to something like:

CALCULATE(AVERAGEX(_table, [New column]), ALL())

 

But upon adding this further column, the values end up identical to those output by the Team Output % measure. I can add this to a card to get the overall average but when in a table the date and team filtering persists even with the ALL function added as per below. When instead I want the average of these values such that every row contains 5.5.  (7.5+8+6+4+2)/5 = 5.5

 

Year Month Team Name Team Average Overall Average
2010 01 A 7.5 7.5
2010 01 B 8 8
2010 02 A 6 6
2010 02 B 4 4
2010 02 C 2 2

 

Hope the above is clear and I am missing something obvious.

instead of ALL use ALLSELECTED(TeamName) or REMOVEFILTERS or SUMMARIZE and then AVERAGEX.
