    Hi,

    Thanks for the response. Actually the table I'm working on is created with Dax (summarize), so I cannot do anything on it in Power Query.

    Also, as per the solution you had posted, I'm not sure if that will add month variable along with 4 weeks variable to calculate moving average.

    Hi, ar-data 

    If I understand correctly, you need to average 4 consecutive items in the table according to the order in the table above. If there is an index column here, then calculate the average of 4 consecutive index items.
    But since you can't create an index column using PowerQuery, then we can create a ranking column based on the date.

    Remove the comment and create a ranking column with your date column.

    Rank = 
    RANKX('Table',[Index],,ASC,Dense)
    // RANKX('Table',[yourDateColumn],,ASC,Dense)

    Then the Avg measure:

    AVG = 
    var _t=    
    FILTER(
            ALL('Table'),
            'Table'[Rank]<=MAX('Table'[Rank])&&
            'Table'[Rank]>MAX('Table'[Rank])-4
            )
    var _avg=IF(COUNTROWS(_t)=4,AVERAGEX(_t,[Score]))
    
    return _avg


    Result:

    Please refer to the attachment below for details.

    Hope this helps.
