Trouble with Dynamic Reference Line from Average Total (measure)

I'm trying to create a dynamic reference line based off a measure I created (AVG OT).  When I add the measure to a card, I get what I am looking for and it changes when I use my filters.  That part is working good.  Now the issue I have is when I add that AVG measure to a bar chart by employee names, it takes the employees avg and creates a line that coincides with each employee.  I want it to stay as the total value instead of each individual's value.  Here are some pictures:

Is there a way to get the Reference line to only show the Total, in this example = 11.29?  Instead of changing the values based on employee?  Thanks in advance.

@TMO_KY , create a measure like this

 

Avg OT = calculate([Avg OT per period], all(Table))

And use. 

 

Or use analytics pane
