Smoothing Data with a median filter

Hello,

I am looking to plot the google mobility data for a few countries (line with Date on axis and Value1 in value, the legend is Country_Region), so i have something looking like the image below. What I want to do it create a rolling 7-day median filter that will remove the spikes caused by holidays etc. ... Can this be done via DAX?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

@andcol ,

example

Rolling 7 = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],MAX(Sales[Sales Date]),-7,DAY)) /7
Rolling 7 = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],MAX('Date'[Date ]),-7,DAY))/7

 

or divide distinct count of days

 

or

 

Rolling 7 = CALCULATE(Average(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],MAX(Sales[Sales Date]),-7,DAY))
Rolling 7 = CALCULATE(Average(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],MAX('Date'[Date ]),-7,DAY))

Thanks. Can a median filter, rather than a 7-day average be incorporated, I basically want to exclude these spikes rather than average them out and drag down surrounding points. Thanks
