I am creating a graph of the applications that have been received each month for the past 3 years.
What I ma needing to do is to create a 2 year average line that would show an estimated average from the past 2 years by month - eg: June average for the past 2 years is 1.2k, July average is 3.5k etc to be plotted on the graph
Would anyone know how to do this?

Hi,
I am not sure how your semantic model looks like, but I tried to create a sample pbix file like below.
Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.
WINDOW function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn
Sales measure: =
SUM( sales[sales] )
WINDOW function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn
rolling 24 months avg sales measure: =
VAR _t =
WINDOW (
-24,
REL,
-1,
REL,
ALL ( 'calendar'[Month Year], 'calendar'[Month Year sort] ),
ORDERBY ( 'calendar'[Month Year sort], ASC )
)
RETURN
IF (
COUNTROWS ( _t ) = 24
&& SUM ( sales[sales] ),
AVERAGEX (
WINDOW (
-24,
REL,
-1,
REL,
ALL ( 'calendar'[Month Year], 'calendar'[Month Year sort] ),
ORDERBY ( 'calendar'[Month Year sort], ASC )
),
CALCULATE ( SUM ( sales[sales] ) )
)
)

This is great thank you, it worked when using the COUNTROWS function instead of SUM
