Hi All,
I have monthly sales by city from 1 Jul 2017 to 1 Aug 2021.
I would like to add 4 year average sales by city to my graph(like red line in the graph) Please help!
I tried to use similar dax I found in community , but did not work because...
It showed error when I typed Sales[Date].[Year]
I also do not know how to filter by city....
Measure =
AVERAGEX (
SUMMARIZE (
FILTER (
Sales,
YEAR ( Sakes[Date] )
>= YEAR ( TODAY () ) - 4
&& YEAR ( Sales[Date] ) < YEAR ( TODAY () )
),
Sales[Date].[Year]
),
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Sales[Sales] ) )
)
All the best,
Paris
Hi, @paris
For calculating the average, you can try the following two schemes.
1. Calculated column
Average =
CALCULATE (
AVERAGE ( Sales[Sales] ),
FILTER ( Sales, Sales[Month] = EARLIER ( Sales[Month] ) )
)
2. Measure
Measure =
CALCULATE (
AVERAGE ( Sales[Sales] ),
FILTER ( ALL ( Sales ), Sales[Month] = MAX ( Sales[Month] ) )
)

Can you use the following measure?
AVERAGEX (
SUMMARIZE (
FILTER (
all(Sales[Year]),
Sales[Year] >= YEAR ( TODAY () ) - 4 && Sales[Year] < YEAR ( TODAY () )
),
Sales[Year]
),
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Sales[Sales] ) )
)

Hi Fowmy,
Thank you for your reply. I tried your measure but it shows same number as original sales except there is no data in 2021.
I wanted to add average for 2017 - 2020 only so I also tried below but the result is the same number as original sales except there is no data in 2021.
AVERAGEX (
SUMMARIZE (
FILTER (
all(Sales[Year]),
Sales[Year] >= 2017 && Sales[Year] < 2021
),
Sales[Year]
),
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Sales[Sales] ) )
)
Thank you again and hope you can help me further.
All the best,
Paris
