1. you need to have a date column or year month column
2. you can create a column
Column = AVERAGEX(FILTER('Table','Table'[year month]<=EARLIER('Table'[year month])),'Table'[Closing Headcount])
or a measure
Measure = AVERAGEX(FILTER(all('Table'),'Table'[year month]<=max('Table'[year month])),'Table'[Closing Headcount])

Hi,
Does the Financial Year run from October to September? Also, share some data to work with (in a format that can be pasted in an MS Excel file.) or share the download link of your PBI file.
Yes we have fiscal year concept.
The solution worked which was provided on trail message.
Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous,
Use the following formula:
Average Headcount = SUMX('Table',IF('Table'[Month]<=EARLIER('Table'[Month]),'Table'[Closing],0)) / SUMX('Table',IF('Table'[Month]<=EARLIER('Table'[Month]),1,0))
Mark this post as a solution if that works for you!
