Calculate a Percentage of Average

[ctelya]

Hi!

I have a dataset that includes salaries and locations (where the people are receiving said salaries). I will include other slicers, but created this simplified version for now. What I'm trying to do is have another slicer with a list of percentages ranging from 20-45% so that when a percentage is selected it would calculate that percentage of the average salary. Example with the data on the screenshot: if I selected 30%, I am hoping the card would show $123.63K.

I don't know if this is possible, but any help/insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!

You need to create a percentage table ranging from 20%-45%, then use the below DAX :

Measure =
AVERAGE ( SALARY[OTE] ) * MAX ( percentage [perc] )
