I'm using your run of the mill moving average DAX formula and noticed that filtered dates do not get excluded from the calculation
7 Day Avg =
CALCULATE(AVERAGEX (
DATESINPERIOD (
'Calendar'[Date],
LASTDATE ( 'Calendar'[Date] ),
-7,
DAY
),
[Staff #]
))
I'm assuming the is due to DATESINPERIOD not respecting filters, is there any way to fix that?
Filtering on any other column works as expected.
@firescape I didn't get the first few words of the first sentence, you should try to write you code like this:
7 Day Avg =
CALCULATE (
AVERAGEX ( VALUES ( 'Calendar'[Date] ), [Staff #] ),
DATESINPERIOD ( 'Calendar'[Date], LASTDATE ( 'Calendar'[Date] ), -7, DAY )
)
I have also made a video on moving average, in case if you are interested, then check the first link after my signature.
I tried that formula and I'm still having the same issue, see below for an example.
Before filtering:
After filtering out January 11th notice how the average hasn't chaged for January 12th when it should be 175.
