    Anonymous In addition to your question, I saw how you used the data column inside the DATESINPERIOD function. This is not how you should do that. Either you have a dim dates you created or you use the autodate time table. 
    For simplicity, let's say you use the autodate time, than your measure is:

     

    DIVIDE(
    	CALCULATE (
    	    SUM ( 'Google analytics'[Number of sessions] )
    	        * SUM ( 'Google analytics'[Average time per session] ),
    	    DATESINPERIOD (
    	        'Google analytics'[Date].[Date],
    	        FIRSTDATE ( 'Google analytics'[Date] ),
    	        -1,
    	        MONTH
    	    )
    	),
    	 SUM ( 'Google analytics'[Cumulative number of session each week] )
    )

     

    Pay attention to the version I used:
    'Google analytics'[Date].[Date]

    Also, you don't need the ALL argument as you play with filters on the date table anyway.
