Average Gross Amount (TODAY instead of full month)

rphang — Wed, 17 Nov 2021 09:03:25 GMT

I would need help for below I can't seems to get around the correct formula to use. Basically I am trying to achieve 2 results,

To show an average Gross Amount per day (excluding TODAY)

E.g if today is 17 Nov, I should have total Gross Amount (till 16th Nov) divided by 16 days (01 - 16 Nov).

120,346.50 / 16 = 7,521.66

Right now with my DAX, it is taking current Total Gross Amount per month divided by total days in the month. Therefore I am getting 4,011.55 instead of 7,521.66.

Avg MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM('Table1'[Gross_Amount__c]), DATESMTD('DateDIM'[Date])) / CALCULATE(COUNT('DateDIM'[Date]),DATESMTD('DateDIM'[Date]))

Maybe something like this would work. That is, if you are using months as the x-axis.

Daily average =

calculate(

divide( sum('Table1'[Gross_Amount__c]), distinctcount( 'Table1'[Date] ) ),

'Table1'[Date] <> today()

)

Hi, rphang

According to your description, I can clearly understand your requirement, I think you can try this measure:

This is the test data I created based on your description:

Avg MTD Sales = var _monthend=EOMONTH(MAX('Table'[Date]),0) var _monthstart=DATE(YEAR(_monthend),MONTH(_monthend),1) var _datediff=MAX('Table'[Date])-_monthstart var _sum=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Date])) return DIVIDE(_sum,_datediff)

And you can create a table chart and place it like this to get what you want, like this:

If this result is not what you want, you can post some sample data(without sensitive data) and your expected result.

Thank you for the formula.

Not sure if below table would help to elaborate. The formula will need to,

- calculate the month daily average (Total Sales Till Date divided by the days passed Till Date)

- identify "TODAY()" and stop the calculation from further calculation

- the results will need to be display on a line chart visual as well 🙂

Hi, rphang

According to your description and sample data, I can roughly understand your requirement, you can try this method to achieve this:

Create two calculated columns like this:

Till Date Total Sales = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Sales Amount]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),MONTH([Date])=MONTH(EARLIER('Table'[Date]))&&[Date]<=EARLIER('Table'[Date])))

Till Date Avg Daily Sales = var _monthend=EOMONTH(MAX('Table'[Date]),0) var _monthstart=DATE(YEAR(_monthend),MONTH(_monthend),1) var _datediff=MAX('Table'[Date])-_monthstart return DIVIDE([Till Date Total Sales],_datediff)

Create a measure:

Flag = IF(MAX('Table'[Date])<=TODAY(),1,0)

Then you can create a line chart and place the columns then apply a visual filter like this:

And you can get what you want.
