Hi there,
I'm having an issue and we are not able to create a measure to calculate the average of these month-to-month data. We are not sure what is happening when we use the average or averagex formula.
What I am trying to calculate is the sum of a column where we have different prices and then I want to calculate the month-to-month average of each data point, but I am not sure what it is calculating for me.
Measures: 17.1 Provider Cost Sum = SUM('17-Volume billing'[Provider Cost]) Average = AVERAGEX('17-Volume billing',[17.1 Provider Cost Sum])
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Please try
Average =
VAR MaxDate =
MAX ( Calendario[Date] )
VAR MinDate =
CALCULATE ( MIN ( Calendario[Date] ), ALLSELECTED ( Calendario ) )
VAR DatesOnAndBefore =
CALCULATETABLE (
VALUES ( Calendario[Mes] ),
Calendario[Date] <= MaxDate,
Calendario[Date] >= MinDate,
ALLSELECTED ()
)
RETURN
IF (
[17.1 Provider Cost Sum] <> BLANK (),
AVERAGEX ( DatesOnAndBefore, [17.1 Provider Cost Sum] )
)
@jesusssss
Please try
Average =
VAR CurrentDia =
MAX ( 'Table'[Dia] )
VAR DiaOnAndBefore =
FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table'[Dia] ), 'Table'[Dia] <= CurrentDia )
RETURN
IF (
[17.1 Provider Cost Sum] <> BLANK (),
AVERAGEX ( DiaOnAndBefore, [17.1 Provider Cost Sum] )
)
I just tried it, but I'm still getting the same result as with the average measure. What I think is that it has to do with the calendar[date], meaning that when you put Table[day], I thought you were referring to my date calendar table, but it's still not working. Maybe I have to create an additional column in the calendar table?

Hi, I have already tested it and the result is this. They are giving me the same data. I don't know if you know why this could be happening, if it could be an error in the calculation of the supplier cost sum column or in the calendar.
thanks for the help,Let's see if we can figure out what the error is.
@jesusssss
Anything else in the filter context other than Month? Also lets avoid using the [Date].[Month] and create the column [Month] or [Year-Month] in the Calendar table.
The only filters that exist are the year and month filters.
I just created a column in my calendar table that refers to the months.
But the average is still coming out wrong
@jesusssss
In the table and slicer also use the [monthname] column. Do the same for the [Year]
I have changed the filters on the slicers for the new dates columns of year and month that i have alredy created but it doesn´t work.
You are right, that section was not changed but I changed it and it seems that it takes me new data but it still does not average the excel
@jesusssss
Please try
Average =
VAR MaxDate =
MAX ( Calendario[Date] )

CALCULATE ( MIN ( Calendario[Date] ), ALLSELECTED ( Calendario ) )
VAR DatesOnAndBefore =
CALCULATETABLE (

Calendario[Date] <= MaxDate,
Calendario[Date] >= MinDate,
ALLSELECTED ()
)
RETURN
IF (
[17.1 Provider Cost Sum] <> BLANK (),
AVERAGEX ( DatesOnAndBefore, [17.1 Provider Cost Sum] )
)
I already tested it and it works correctly, thank you very very much. The only thing is that the month column I created appears to be disordered, I don't know if you know how to fix it.
Create a month number column and use "sort by column " to sort the monthname by monthnunber
Hi
Yesterday, I thought I had managed to sort it out, but apparently not because when I sort it by the 'date' column with the formula I created, it messes up the average again.
This is without sorting.
And this is when I sort it
This is the columns that I have
Calendario = CALENDAR(DATE(2022,1,1),MAXX(Fecha,Fecha[FechaEntregaPrevista]))
monthname = FORMAT(Calendario[Date],"MMMM")
yearname = YEAR(Calendario[Date])
Number of the month = MONTH(Calendario[Date])
I don't know what's going on, whether it's a problem with the calendar table or not. I'm not sure if there is another way to sort the column or to create a 'month' column.
Thanks.
Hi @jesusssss
Sorry I did not notice your reply. You need to use "sort by column" to sort the [monthname] column by the [Number of the month] column
hi @tamerj1
But when I do what you tell me, the data is duplicated in the summation and in the average, unlike putting the average without sorting which appears correctly to me."
Before sort
after sort
Thanks for the help.
@jesusssss
Double check the Date format in both 'Fecha' and 'Calendario' tables interms of "DD/MM/YYYY" or "MM/DD/YYYY"
