How can I make it so that when I select data using the slicer I can see the average

[SpectorEvya]

I am creating a dashboard for a school project but have encountered an issue that I am unable to overcome.

Below is a description of my dashboard. Its goal is to present information about a student (using fake information). I have created a graph to monitor the average of 3 tests, the total study time (1-4 hours), time absent, and if the student has failed in the past.

Currently, when I click on one of the graphs, for example, the study time, it highlights new data and also shows the average data of all students. For example, if I click on the 4 hours in the "hours studied" graph, it creates a new average while maintaining the total average in the background.

However, when I use the slicer to choose a specific student, it only shows that student's data.

How can I make it so that when I choose a specific student, it still shows the total average in the background as it does when I click on other graphs?

thanks for the helpers

@SpectorEvya 

this is how slicers work. 

slicers doesnt support highlighting other visuals 

you can see it when checking visual interaction : 

when you filter from a slicer, the only option is filter on the visual 

however you filter from visual , you can see that you have 2 options :  filter and highlight 

hope this makes sense.
