Dax Creating baseline value measure

Hi there everyone. I have a problem I have been trying to solve. I am a newbie so please bear with me

 

The problem involves writing baseline values as a Dax measure,

  • I have to create a“ baseline value” measure for hours worked for each location.

 

  • Such that: the baseline value is based on the average of all "actual hours worked" per location. (This Value must remain constant regardless of the date,

 

  • Option b for a baseline:

each week baseline should be based on the average hours of 3 weeks prior, such that it dynamically changes as time goes on.

 

I have the following sample table of work hours below:

Just a similar example of what I am trying to achieve in a visual form

I would appreciate any help I can get on this. Thank you all.

assume you mean there is another table with the static values.

easiest thing would be to  join the two tables together.

you might have to tweak depending on how your data model is set up but this might give you a starting point.

mbaseline:=
var _MaxDate=MIN(Table1[date])
var _MinDate= _MaxDate-21
return 
     CALCULATE(AVERAGE(Table1[actual]),
               FILTER(all(Table1[date]),
                      Table1[date]>_MinDate && Table1[date]<=_MaxDate
                     )
               )

Hi there, Thanks for your input, and will try this out. Also, I would like to know how I can make an overall static baseline value for each location so that it remains unaffected by the date value changes.
