Hi guys,
I need to calculate 3 months separately, sum and divide by 3 and I did this but something is going wrong:
_Measure =
VAR _kpi = SELECTEDVALUE(KPIs[KPIName])
VAR _currnetMonth = MONTH(MAX('Calendar'[Date]))
VAR _currentYear = YEAR(MAX('Calendar'[Date]))
VAR _previous1Month = IF(_currnetMonth = 1, 12, _currnetMonth-1) //to kpi FDS
VAR _previous2Month = IF(_currnetMonth = 2, 12, _currnetMonth-2) //to kpi FDS
VAR _previous3Month = IF(_currnetMonth = 3, 12, _currnetMonth-3) //to kpi FDS
VAR _previousYearFDS = IF(_currnetMonth = 1, _currentYear-1, _currentYear) //to kpi FDS
VAR firstmonth =
CALCULATE(
[Dynamic Measure Base R],
ALL('Calendar'),
MONTH('Calendar'[Date]) = _previous1Month,
YEAR('Calendar'[Date]) = _previousYearFDS)
VAR secondmonth =
CALCULATE(
[Dynamic Measure Base R],
ALL('Calendar'),
MONTH('Calendar'[Date]) = _previous2Month,
YEAR('Calendar'[Date]) = _previousYearFDS)
VAR thirdmonth =
CALCULATE(
[Dynamic Measure Base R],
ALL('Calendar'),
MONTH('Calendar'[Date]) = _previous3Month,
YEAR('Calendar'[Date]) = _previousYearFDS)
RETURN
(firstmonth + secondmonth + thirdmonth) / 3
Can anyone help me?
@WillY_OneEyed , You can use a measure with help from the calendar table.
3 Month Avg = CALCULATE(AverageX(Values('Date'[MONTH Year]),calculate(Sum('Table'[Value])))
,DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],MAX('Date'[Date ]),-3,MONTH))
Window function
Rolling 3 Avg = CALCULATE(AverageX(Values('Date'[MONTH Year]),calculate(Sum('Table'[Value]))), WINDOW(-2,REL, 0, REL, ADDCOLUMNS(ALLSELECTED('Date'[Month Year],'Date'[Month Year Sort] ),ORDERBY([Month Year Sort],asc))) )
New visual Calc
Move Avg = MOVINGAVERAGE([Net],3)

Hi @amitchandak, Thank you for the answer. I tested your "3 Month Avg" solution but the problem happens when I've a year filter applied. This filter is the default for this dashboard and can't be removed.
About the "Rolling 3 Avg" solution, I couldn't get it running because it gives an error of "few arguments"
When I've a year or a month visual filter applied, this measure doesn't work correctly
3 Month Avg =
CALCULATE (
AVERAGEX (
VALUES ( 'Calendar'[Key] ),
CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[KPI] ) )
),
DATESINPERIOD ( 'Calendar'[Date], MAX ( 'Calendar'[Date] ), -3, MONTH )
)
