Using a Measure Across Fields to Calculate a flag

Context: 

I am calculating a survey average for the prior year across states, and I want to flag if a customer is in that state and gave a score lower than the state's annual average. 

 

This is what I've got right now:

StatePY Annual AvgCustomer IDCustomer Avg
AZ41234
AZ3ABC3
AZ34563
CA4DEF4
CA57895
CA3GHI3

 

So I want the PY Annual Avg to be a locked value based on just the State, but when I add the Customer ID to the table, it recalculates the measure to calculate the average for the customer, so I can't create the Y/N flag, because the PY Annual Avg column doesn't stay "locked" to the desired value. 

 

This is what I want the output to look like:

StatePY Annual Avg*DESIRED VIEW*Customer IDCustomer Avg**Desired Flag**
AZ3.331234N
AZ3.33ABC3Y
AZ3.334563Y
CA4DEF4N
CA47895N
CA4GHI3Y

 

I can't seem to use any windows functions, it gives me errors about scalar values. And I've tried using combinations of Keep/Allexcept/Remove filters but they don't produce the desired result (closest I get is that each customer ID gets duplciated across every state, which isn't accurate). 

 

I unfortunately can't share my real data, but hopefully this is enough context to get some help? 

Thanks in advance!

That is not evident in your sample data. Please provide sample data that fully covers your issue.
Please show the expected outcome based on the sample data you provided.

I've edited the table - like I said in the post, it's just mock data so I'm trying to explain the issue I'm having, since I can't really show it. 

I cannot assist you if you are unable to provide sample data. I hope someone else can help you further.
