Average Volume Week YTD by Store

[kbarc24]

Hi there, 

I'm stuck trying to come up with a way to calculate the following:
"The average weekly volume (count of rows) since the beginning of the year (YTD) OR since the first date with rows broken down by store."

That's a bit wordy so let me include a quick table. 

Week	1	2	3	4	5	6
Store A	10	16	17	20	18	23
Store B			5	7	9	15
Store C					9	10

Ideally what we'd see is that for Store A, at week 6, our measure would produce ((10+16+17+20+18+23)/6) = 17.3. For Store B; 9. And Store C: 9.5

In a perfect world that average would be rolling, so I could look at week 5 and get 16.2, 7, and 9 respectively. 

I've been able to make it work for cases where there is data going back right to the start of the year, but I can't figure out a way to write the calculation that specifies an average only if the weeks have data.

Hi, @kbarc24 

Based on your information, I create a sample table:

Then create measures and try the following DAX expression:

Rolling Average Volume A = 
VAR CurrentWeek = MAX('Table'[Week])
RETURN
AVERAGEX(
    FILTER(
        ALL('Table'),
        'Table'[Week] <= CurrentWeek && 'Table'[Store A] <> BLANK()
    ),
    'Table'[Store A]
)

Rolling Average Volume B = 
VAR CurrentWeek = MAX('Table'[Week])
RETURN
AVERAGEX(
    FILTER(
        ALL('Table'),
        'Table'[Week] <= CurrentWeek && 'Table'[Store B] <> BLANK()
    ),
    'Table'[Store B]
)

Rolling Average Volume C = 
VAR CurrentWeek = MAX('Table'[Week])
RETURN
AVERAGEX(
    FILTER(
        ALL('Table'),
        'Table'[Week] <= CurrentWeek && 'Table'[Store C] <> BLANK()
    ),
    'Table'[Store C]
)

To calculate the average weekly volume (count of rows) since the beginning of the year (YTD) or since the first date with rows broken down by store, you can create a measure in DAX that takes into account only the weeks where there is data.

1. Create a Measure for Cumulative Sum of Rows

First, create a measure to calculate the cumulative sum of rows for each store up to the current week.

Cumulative Rows =

CALCULATE(

    SUM('Table'[Rows]),

    FILTER(

        ALL('Table'),

        'Table'[Store] = MAX('Table'[Store]) &&

        'Table'[Week] <= MAX('Table'[Week])

    )

)

1. Create a Measure for the Count of Weeks with Data

Next, create a measure to count the number of weeks that have data for each store up to the current week.

Weeks with Data =

CALCULATE(

    COUNTROWS('Table'),

    FILTER(

        ALL('Table'),

        'Table'[Store] = MAX('Table'[Store]) &&

        'Table'[Week] <= MAX('Table'[Week]) &&

        'Table'[Rows] > 0

    )

)

1. Create the Rolling Average Measure

Finally, create the rolling average measure by dividing the cumulative sum by the count of weeks with data.

Rolling Average =

DIVIDE(

    [Cumulative Rows],

    [Weeks with Data]

)
