Calculating a MTD Average based on Date and Entity

Hello,

I have a table with a number by person by date. I want to calculate the average for current month/month(s) previous.
I've tried 2 calculations, neither work:

  1. Average#MTD = Averagex(values(Table[Date].[Date], [Number]) - returns the Number for each Month 
  2. Average#MTD= CALCULATE(AVERAGEX(Table,Table[Number]),Filter(Table,Table[Date].[Date]<=EARLIER(Table[Date].[Date]))) - gives me the average by date, but not to specific person (UniqueID2). 
    Do I just need another filter here?

Understand the preference is to provide a pbix file. I unfortunately am not able to do that. Appreciate any help anyone is willing to provide without pbix files. I am very close to getting to what I need, but am missing something small I think..

@Anonymous - Are these calculated columns or measures? Look like calculated columns. Try:

Average#MTD= AVERAGEX(Filter(Table,Table[Date].[Date]<=EARLIER(Table[Date].[Date] && [Name]=EARLIER(Table[Name])),Table[Number])
