6 Month Avg (excl. last month) with filters

deepblue_m45 — Fri, 08 Jul 2022 17:31:42 GMT

Hello,

So I have written the below measure that will give me the average of the last 6 months, excluding the most recently completed month. This has worked very well when I'm looking at a scenario where there's 1 statistic to use.

However, I'm looking at a situation where I need to sum up two types and it's not working as expected. For instance, I have a stacked column visual that is showing two customer types (w/ data labels for type 1, type 2, and grand total). When I apply this measure, it's giving me the average of both types individually (green cells) which is 2888. What I'm looking for is for the measure to average the grand total (yellow) which gives me 5777. I've tried many different ways and I can't quite get it. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

"6 Mo Avg (Excl Current) = CALCULATE( AVERAGE('AccountingTable'[Value]), DATESINPERIOD('Date Hierarchy'[Month Year],DATEADD(LASTDATE('Date Hierarchy'[Month Year]),-1,MONTH),-6,MONTH) ) "

Hi deepblue_m45,

You may try this solution.

1 Create a Date column in ‘AccountingTable’ table

Date = VAR month_ = SWITCH ( LEFT ( AccountingTable[Month], 3 ), "Jan", 1, "Feb", 2, "Mar", 3, "Apr", 4, "May", 5, "Jun", 6, "Jul", 7, "Aug", 8, "Sep", 9, "Oct", 10, "Nov", 11, "Dec", 12 ) VAR year_ = 2000 + RIGHT ( AccountingTable[Month], 2 ) RETURN DATE ( year_, month_, 1 )

2 Build relationship between ‘AccountingTable’ table and ‘Date Hierarchy’ table

6 Mo Avg (Excl Current) = CALCULATE( AVERAGE('AccountingTable'[Total]), //AVERAGE('AccountingTable'[Value]) DATESINPERIOD('Date Hierarchy'[Month Year],DATEADD(LASTDATE('Date Hierarchy'[Month Year]),-1,MONTH),-6,MONTH) )

Then, you should see the Measure works.

Also, attached the pbix file as reference.
