Slicer filtering when it shouldn't

[Anonymous]

I am written the following Dax formula to calculate the average max words each vendor can do. When I put that formula into my visual and use a date slicer it is slicing my target value and max value in the gauge visual. I only want the slicer to filter words in progress. Can someone help explain how I can accomplish this?

Formula I'm using to get the average This is the formula I am using to calculate the target & max value in my visual

Max words (M) =
VAR Vendor = [Vendor]
RETURN
    DIVIDE (
        DataDump1[Max Words Per (M)],
        CALCULATE (
            COUNTROWS ( DataDump1 ),
            ALL ( DataDump1 ),
            DataDump1[Vendor] = Vendor
        )
    )

I want the value to change when I slice the date but want to keep the same value for the target and max value. 

Thank you for all your help!

Thank you for responding to me. I was able to get the solution. I created a measure and then reference Max words (M) column. 

Formula I used was 

Max Words (M) Measure =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( DataDump1[Max words (M)] ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( DataDump1, DataDump1[Vendor] )
)

And the formula I used for my calculated column to get the average of max words was

Max words (M) =
VAR Vendor = [Vendor]
RETURN
    DIVIDE (
        DataDump1[Max Words Per (M)],
        CALCULATE (
            COUNTROWS ( DataDump1 ),
            ALL ( DataDump1 ),
            DataDump1[Vendor] = Vendor
        )
    )

Thanks for the help and looking into it for me!

Hi jarodjp42,

Modify your measure like below and check if it can meet your requirement:

Max words (M) =
VAR Vendor = [Vendor]
RETURN
    DIVIDE (
        DataDump1[Max Words Per (M)],
        CALCULATE (
            COUNTROWS ( DataDump1 ),
            ALLSELECTED ( DataDump1 ),
            DataDump1[Vendor] = Vendor
        )
    )
