Indexing Data :)

Hello,

I would please like some help to create an index table.

I have a 'date' table to which 'my data' table is joined to by 'date'. - format e.g 01/04/2021

 

 Suppose I have a created a pivot  table like below which has data by financial years and months.

Essentially for Indexing

 2017/2018 Apr takes the value for my data 2017/2018 Apr and divides it by the average of  entire Financial Years value from apr  - mar 2017/2018 - see example below. 

 4 / Average of (4    6          8          4          2          7          4          2          6          8          8          7)

Results = 0.73

Does anyone have any idea how I can do this in PowerBI using Dax or any other suitable way please.

Would be much appreciated.

Thank you 🙂

@Summer_PBI Try:

Measure Ratio =
  VAR __Value = [Measure] //whatever you currently have in your matrix
  VAR __Average =
    AVERAGEX(
      ADDCOLUMNS(
        SUMMARIZE(ALLEXEPT('Table',[Year]),[Month]),
        "__Value",[Measure]
      ),
      [__Value]
    )
  VAR __Result = DIVIDE(__Value, __Average)
RETURN
  __Result
