How to do a double For/While?

I have a table with the following information:

IndexIterationPoints
13819
23916
34013
44115
54216
6

43

16

 

I need a double while/for to create the average of the last 3 iterations to a new table: (Example) 

IndexIterationAverage
140 = (19+16+13) / 3
241= (16+13+15) / 3
342= (13+15+16) / 3
443= (15+16+16) / 3

 

I think recursion is not possible in Dax Code but I've tried different things to see a workaround.

 

Please help

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    If you would like to achieve the desired result with a DAX formula, you may try this Measure.

    Avg =
VAR avg_ =
    CALCULATE (
        AVERAGE ( 'Table'[Points] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Table' ),
            'Table'[Iteration] >= MAX ( 'Table'[Iteration] )
                && 'Table'[Iteration]
                    < ( MAX ( 'Table'[Iteration] ) + 3 )
        )
    )
VAR maxIndex =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Index] ), ALL ( 'Table' ) )
RETURN
    IF ( MAX ( 'Table'[Index] ) > maxIndex - 2, BLANK (), avg_ )

     

    Then, the result looks like this.

    Anonymous ,

    A new column

    Var _sum = sumx(filter(Table, [Index]>= earlier([Index]) && [Index]<= earlier([Index]) +2) , [Points] )

    Var _cnt = countx(filter(Table, [Index]>= earlier([Index]) && [Index]<= earlier([Index]) +2) , [Points] )

    return

    divide(_sum,_cnt)

     

    If needed you can check for _cnt > 2
