Need Help on Autocorrelation Calculation
Hello Power BI expert,
I need an advice on how to do autocorrelation calculation in Power BI.
for now i am trying to replicate the result from excel tutorial.
I read there are two ways of calculation autocorrelation:
1. Using OFFSET and DEVSQ
2. Using VAR.P
Here is the website link that i currently work on to replicate the result How to Calculate Autocorrelation in Excel - Sheetaki
Is it possible to re-create what the excel did in Power BI? I tried to make it myself but the result is different.
Thank you and really appreciate for the help.

Most likelky not. Power BI has no memory and no concept of self-referencing without becoming all upset about circular references.

However, if Power BI has no memory or concept of self-referencing, then it is impossible doing autocorrelation in Power BI?
