Moving average across columns

Hi, 

 

I have data like:

Name, 2024-01, 2024-02, 2024-03, etc to 2025-01

Customer a, 5,5,10,10 etc

Customer b, 10,11,11,12 etc

Customer c, 0,0,0,0....7,7 as they only have values for last 2 months

 

I'd like a column added that gives moving average over as many months as there is data to indicate a trend

 

Is that possible?

2. unpivot the table and rename the header if needed.

3. create a new measure with following DAX

Average =
var _Name = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Name])
Return
AVERAGEX(
    FILTER(
        ALL('Table'),
        'Table'[Name]=_Name&&
        'Table'[Date]<=MAX('Table'[Date])
    ),
    'Table'[Value]
)
4. plot into table visual
