Moving Average with fixed first date

Dear Community,

 

How can I count a kind of a moving averge that works likes this: First date is fixed and the average is counted on adding every next date's data as it procceeds. For example:

I have   Date  

 ABCDE
1IDDate WeightsBox weightWeight / pack
2111101/01/202242513
3111202/01/20224.52312.7
4112505/01/20224.425.613.1
5114306/01/20224.225.212.4
7115609/01/20224.523.813.3

 

So, now the aevarge is counted like this in excel: IF(AND(A1<>"",C1<>"-"),ROUND(AVERAGE($E$1:E1),1),"-") .

 

The part that confuses me is that fixing the first value and calculateing the average of that fixed value plus every next one as it goes.

 

Thank you for your help!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please try the following measure:

 

Moving Average = 
VAR FirstID = FIRSTNONBLANKVALUE ( 'Table'[Date], MAX ( 'Table'[ID] ) )
VAR firstWeight = FIRSTNONBLANKVALUE ( 'Table'[Date], SUM ( 'Table'[Weights] ) )
VAR Ave =
    CALCULATE (
        AVERAGE ( 'Table'[Weight / pack] ),
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Date] <= MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ) )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( AND ( FirstID <> BLANK (), ISNUMBER ( firstWeight ) ), Ave, "-" )
