Using a slicer value across a table within a measure

Hi All,

 

I have a table I'm using in my reports that looks like the below:

Brand NameAverage Sold PriceBrand Variance (£)
Company 1200,000-200,000
Company 2500,000100,000

 

I also have a slicer that uses the same Brand Name field that is a dropdown where you can select a value to change based on that Brand Name.

 

I also have an Average Sold Price of Brand measure that works out that Comanies Average Sold Price.

 

So for example with the table above. This is how I would want it to look if the Brand I selected in the slicers average Sold Price was 400,000. So the variance in the table needs to reflect how it does above with it dynamically working out the variance column based on the slicer. I need to be able to use the value within the Average Sold Price of Brand measure across all of the rows.

 

Currently I am seeing it as this due to it filtering on each of the rows:

Brand Name

Average Sold PriceBrand Variance (£)
Company 1200,0000
Company 2500,0000

 

In summary I need to be able to use a filtered (by slicer) value within a measure across all rows in this table.

 

Does anyone know how I can achieve this? Happy to provide more information if any is required.

    Hi charliep938 ,

     

    Here I suggest you to create an unrelated "Dim Brand Name" table for slicer.

    My Sample:

    Data model:

    Measure:

    Average Sold Price = CALCULATE(AVERAGE('Table'[Sold Price]))
    Brand Variance (£) = 
VAR _SELECTBRAND =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Dim Brand Name'[Brand Name] )
VAR _SELECTAVG =
    CALCULATE ( [Average Sold Price], 'Table'[Brand Name] = _SELECTBRAND )
RETURN
    [Average Sold Price] - _SELECTAVG

    Result is as below.
