How to edit my current search to find the average?

Hello guys! Sup?
Can anyone help me to get the average of all current search events and not only the first ones. I have this search below which has everything I need, but just missin' the correct average. How can I achieve the correct average and variation:

index=main sourcetype=main_pc BOTH=* TABLE_VALUE=* PROCESS_NAME=* 
| eval PROCESS=PROCESS_NAME
| eval VOLUME=(BOTH+TABLE_VALUE)  
| streamstats avg(VOLUME) as AVERAGE
| eval VARIATION=((1-(VOLUME/AVERAGE))*100) 
| fieldformat VARIATION=round(VARIATION, 2) 
| table PROCESS_NAMEVOLUMEAVERAGE VARIATION
| rangemap field=VARIATION low=0-20 elevated=20.01-50 severe=40.01-100 default=low

And we get results with different values for each table row, should be the same for this amount of data returned by this current search and time period.

Maybe you want to use eventstats instead of streamstats?
