3 Month Rolling Average Measure

Hello looking for help adding a rolling 3-month average to the below table in power bi. 

Dummy values in the Rolling Avg 3M column im attempting to populate via a measure. 

For the retention rate (rr) is 50 for feb as seen below, so the Rolling Average should show 50. 

The next month march is 60, so the Rolling Average should show 50+60/2 = 55

Then apr which is 70,  so the Rolling Average should show 50+60+70/2 = 60

Once we move into May, then the rolling average should do March/Apr/May, and so on. 

table name rrate

    You can try the following methods.
    Measure:

    Rolling Avg 3M = 
    Var _N1=SUMMARIZE(FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Date]<=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date])),[Date],"Sum",SUM('Table'[Value]))
    Var _N2=TOPN(3,_N1,[Date],DESC)
    Return
    DIVIDE(SUMX(_N2,[Sum]),COUNTROWS(_N2))

    Is this the result you expect?
