YTD Rolling Average by Month
Hi all,
I am relatively new to PowerBI so still learning everyday! I am trying to create a rolling YTD Average Headcount for Turnover analysis.
Below is a sumarised table that shows monthly headcount and leavers.
What I would like to show is YTD;
- in January, we had 1360 employees
- in February, it should show (1360+1372)/2 = 1366
- in March, it should show (1360+1372+X)/3 = XXXX
and so on for the rest of the year. PLEASE HELP!! I am really stuck and have tried the quick measure but it isn't working:
2017 Monthly Headcount rolling average =
IF(
ISFILTERED('2017 Date'[Month]),
ERROR("Time intelligence quick measures can only be grouped or filtered by the Power BI-provided date hierarchy or primary date column."),
VAR __LAST_DATE = ENDOFMONTH('2017 Date'[Month].[Date])
VAR __DATE_PERIOD =
DATESBETWEEN(
'2017 Date'[Month].[Date],
STARTOFMONTH(DATEADD(__LAST_DATE, 1, MONTH)),
ENDOFMONTH(DATEADD(__LAST_DATE, 1, MONTH))
)
RETURN
AVERAGEX(
CALCULATETABLE(
SUMMARIZE(
VALUES('2017 Date'),
'2017 Date'[Month].[Year],
'2017 Date'[Month].[QuarterNo],
'2017 Date'[Month].[Quarter],
'2017 Date'[Month].[MonthNo],
'2017 Date'[Month].[Month]
),
__DATE_PERIOD
),
CALCULATE(
SUM('2017 Date'[2017 Monthly Headcount]),
ALL('2017 Date'[Month].[Day])
)
)
)I have then created a running total measure and plan on then creating a calculation that divides the above with the below to give a monthly turnover %.
Thanks in advance!!
HI Anonymous
Here is a simple calculated measure that might be close
Measure = TOTALYTD( SUM('2017 Date'[2017 Monthly Headcount]), '2017 Date'[Month] ) / MAX('2017 Date'[Month Number])If you put it on a Table visual with your Month column you get the correct results.

Thank you so much Phil_Seamark
I have one more question - I have slicers on my dashbaord which allow our Executives to filter the data for their Divisions/Groups but it seems this is no longer linked to teh Turnover visualisation - any ideas? Would this be because I sumarised the the table?
Thank you
