Hello
I'm tring to calculate the average of the first 3 months going back 6 months , in the below example and if we pick January
I need to return 6 months and from that period I need to calculate the average of the fist 3 months of this period of 6 months
So for January I need the average of (July, August and September) , etc as below
Any tips ?
Appreciated
Solved! Go to Solution.
You could use the WINDOW function, something like
Avg first 3 months =
VAR DatesToUse =
WINDOW (
-6,
REL,
-4,
REL,
ALL ( 'Date'[Year month], 'Date'[Year month sort column] ),
ORDERBY ( 'Date'[Year month sort column] )
)
VAR Result =
AVERAGEX (
DatesToUse,
CALCULATE (
[Measure to average],
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Date', 'Date'[Year month], 'Date'[Year month sort column] )
)
)
RETURN
Result
