Using total to calculate a different measure

Hi Everyone, I have a problem to which I can't find a result. Basically I am trying to use an absolute total (not affected by any filters that might prop up) over a data-set in a different measure:

 

ShopTownDayBikes Sold
A107/02/20162
A108/02/20164
B107/02/20166
B108/02/20163
C207/02/20167
C208/02/20161

 

  Result 
ShopTownAverage Bikes Sold Per DayScore
A130.8
B14.51.2
C241.0
Total 3.83 

 

My problem is that if I use a report Filter/Slicer to filter down to town level for example, it automatically recalculates the total average and changes the score. I want to be able to slice by town*, but the total to stay the same. What I am basically using now is SUM(BikesSold)/DistinctCount(Shop). To fix the total part I have tried a blank 'Allselected() or Allexcept(town) (-this one takes the max amount of distinct counts over the time period) but it bugs out in a way or the other.

 

Thanks!

Hi @DanielB,

I try to reproduce your scenario get the expected result, please see the following solution. 

Create a measure using the following formula.

Average Bikes Sold Per Day = AVERAGEX(SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Shop],'Table'[Town],"Aa",AVERAGE('Table'[Bikes Sold])),AVERAGE('Table'[Bikes Sold]))

For example, create table used to diplay the shop, town and Average Bikes Sold Per Day values. Create a slicer including town values, when you click 1, it will the corresponding values, and the total average changes automatically.
