Calculate average for sales per month so that every day returns the same monthly value

Hi, I need help calculating the average for sales per month so that every day returns the same monthly value.

In Excel it looks like this:

The measure I am using in PBI does not calculate per month, it calculates per row:

 
Hris_2-1624007223872.png

 How can I create a measure in PBI for the following sample data that calculates the average per month (showing the same values for a month) if the Date field is used in the table?

DateMonthYearSales
01/01/21202118263
01/02/212021111930
01/04/212021113123
02/02/212021219201
02/07/212021223661
02/08/212021218552
02/09/212021224552
03/01/212021319002
03/13/212021315662
03/14/212021323897

Thanks!

@Anonymous , Try a measure like this with a date table

 

this Daily Avgmonth = CALCULATE(AverageX(values(Date[Date]), calculate(sum(Sales[Sales]))),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH('Date'[Date])))

 

 

use date from date table in visual

 

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.

That worked for me too - another way that gave me the same answer is:

   TOTALMTD(AVERAGEX('Date',[sales_sum]),'Date'[Date])

Hi @Anonymous 

Try this measure. See it all at work in the attached file.

Measure = 
CALCULATE(AVERAGE(Table1[Sales]), ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[MonthYear]))

Sales Total : =
SUM(Sales[Sales])
 
Avg per Month : =
IF (
HASONEVALUE ( Dates[M & Y] ),
IF (
NOT ISBLANK ( [Sales Total :] ),
AVERAGEX (
FILTER ( ALL ( Dates ), Dates[M & Y] = MAX ( Dates[M & Y] ) ),
[Sales Total :]
)
),
AVERAGEX ( Dates, [Sales Total :] )
)
