For the 3 month measure, don't divide by 3 at the end.

For the Avg Deviation, it's -2/3 because you divided by 3. Try different numbers and more decimal places.

You can do something like this to alter the Filter context, effectively changing the time period you're calculating:

 

Avg DC last 3 months = 
CALCULATE(
   [Avg DC],
   DATESBETWEEN(
        'Date'[Date],
        MINX(DATEADD('Date'[Date],-3,MONTH),[Date]), //Start of 3 months ago
        MAXX(DATEADD('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH),[Date]) //End of last month
    )
)

My preference is to have a robust date table, which allows this simpler, faster calculation:

Avg DC last 3 months = 
var currentmonth = MAX('Date'[Relative Month])
return CALCULATE(
   [Avg DC],
   'Date'[Relative Month] >= currentmonth - 3,
   'Date'[Relative Month] < currentmonth
)

Cheers!

@Varshi288 - Could you please share a sample pbix, without sensitive data, or share screenshots of the formulas you used and the visual options and results?

Thanks,

Hi  I am using below formulae. however percentage Deviation  same for all which is wrong.

 

Avg DC last 3 months =
CALCULATE(
[Avg DC],DATESINPERIOD(Period[Date],LASTDATE(Period[Date]),-3,MONTH))/3
