Rolling Average Using Index (NOT DATE)

Dear all,

I would like to ask , "What are examples of workable coding that I can try using if I need to perform rolling average of 30 weeks using the INDEX row and NOT Dates?" because based on my research that I have done so far, I mainly see people performing rolling average calculations using dates but not index which becomes unhelpful references for my case. Therefore, I decided to raise my question here instead.

 

All responses are welcomed.

 

Thank you for taking the time out to read this enquiry.

@Kaili So like:

Better RA = 
    VAR __Index = MAX('Table'[Index])
    VAR __MinIndex = __Index - 30
    VAR __Table = FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[Index] < __Index && [Index] >= __MinIndex)
RETURN
    AVERAGEX(__Table,[Value])

Note, I pretty much just replaced [Date] with [Index]...

Hello everyone,

 

New to the forum and first post. I was wondering which command to use to get the following results in power bi.

 

I am comparing scores to see if they are less than or greater than a certain range and thus helping with the decision/outome. The excel formula is working, how can i set up the same in Power bi. below is a screenshot showing the formula etc

Dear Mr @Greg_Deckler,

How can I modify the DAX formula to match with the calculated rolling average in my Excel data source file as there are differences between the data that I have and in the chart that I created in Power BI?

 

Please advice. Thank you very much.

@Kaili Not the first clue. I don't have any data to compare one with the other so impossible to say.

Dear Mr @Greg_Deckler ,

here are the screenshots of my data (we are looking at row 276's total in Excel and the Rolling Average Sample 1 in Power BI). As you can see, the data does not match. Therefore, I would like to know if there are DAX amendments that I can make to ensure that this does not happen?

Further advice is much appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

Kaili

@Kaili What is your Excel formula for your G276 cell?

@Greg_Deckler =SUM(M246:M276)/30
