Cumulative Total

I've solved thef irst part using the EARLIER function

Moving Average = 
DIVIDE (
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( [Cumulative Quantity1] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'All Web Site Data (2)' ),
            'All Web Site Data (2)'[Date] <= EARLIER ( 'All Web Site Data (2)'[Date] )
        )
    ),
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'All Web Site Data (2)'[Date] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'All Web Site Data (2)' ),
            'All Web Site Data (2)'[Date] <= EARLIER ( 'All Web Site Data (2)'[Date] )
        )
    ),
    0
)

So it produces a literal moving average.

Now its a matter of creating a Measure to show YOY, Month on Month and day on day. This might be easier to break it into a few colums and calculate that way or use a Time Intelligent Function.

Okay great! Yes as you said - literal moving average because you didn't specify time period 7 Day, 1 Month, 6 weeks, 3 months...

For those you have to create the corresponding Running total first (which would again be your numerator)

say 3 months and then use something like this for the denominator

CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT(Calendar[Year-Month), DATESINPERIOD(CalendarTable[Date], LASTDATE(CalendarTable[Date]),-3,Month ) )

Yes I should have mentioned the Moving Average formula I posted was a Measure!

Here's the Column... :smileyhappy:

I've created a Moving Average Measure and I'm now trying to create a column to produce a month on month moving average

MovingaverageMeasure = CALCULATE([Movingaveragemonthmeasure],
        DATESBETWEEN('All Web Site Data (2)'[Date],                    /*DATESBETWEEN function returns a table of days based on begin & end dates.*/
            FIRSTDATE(PREVIOUSMONTH('All Web Site Data (2)'[Date])),   /*PREVIOUSMONTH gets all the days from the previous month. FIRSTDATE returns the first day of that month.*/
            LASTDATE(DATEADD('All Web Site Data (2)'[Date],-1,MONTH))  /*DATEADD allows us to navigate a number of periods back in time. LASTDATE gets the last date.*/
         )
     )

It's currently returnng the same numbers as my 'Moving Average' Column

----------------

Disregard, I forgot to send this a bit ago.

Ok, I'm attempting to calculate the Running Total Column; we've pulled and shaped the data again and redone some things; When i use the code:

Running Total Column = CALCULATE (DISTINCTCOUNT('All Web Site Data'[Date - Copy],DATESINPERIOD('All Web Site Data'[Date - Copy], LASTDATE('All Web Site Data'[Date - Copy]),-1,DAY )))

I recieve the error "too many arguements were pased to DISTINTCOUNT function. The maximum argument count for the function is 1."

Then when I add a bracket and have this as my code;

Running Total Column = CALCULATE (DISTINCTCOUNT('All Web Site Data'[Date - Copy]), DATESINPERIOD('All Web Site Data'[Date - Copy], LASTDATE('All Web Site Data'[Date - Copy]),-1,DAY ))

I recieve "A circular dependency was detected: All Web Site Data[Running Total Column], All Web Site Data[Month on Month Return], All Web Site Data[Running Total Column]."

It seems we need to isolate the running total column from the other two columns mentioned?

The running total colomn is the same as my Cumulative Quantity1 column:

Now let me try something here....

I just tried:

Month on Month Total Sessions = Calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT('All Web Site Data'[Cumulative Quantity1]), DATESINPERIOD('All Web Site Data'[Date - Copy], LASTDATE('All Web Site Data'[Date - Copy]),-1, MONTH))

And recieved a circular dependency bug.

Let me try using Sum instead of Distinctcount.

Returned Circular dependency. hmmmm

I deleted the interferring column and created it as both a column and as a measure.

As a column it simply shows the same values as "Cumulative Quantity1" my already running total.

I tried adding the columns and the measures to graphs on my report page; yet when i add cumulative total it seems to mess up and shows tremendously high numbers in total on a bar graph, as in, it's high from the very beginning, as opposed to building and becoming bigger and bigger each month for example.

The same happens with my Moving average column.

I get the sense the graph issue may have something to do with the way the graph is interacting with the columns.

I've created a measure;

Month on Month Total SessionsMeasuree = CALCULATE([Cumulative Quantity1M],
        DATESBETWEEN('All Web Site Data'[Date - Copy],                    /*DATESBETWEEN function returns a table of days based on begin & end dates.*/
            FIRSTDATE(PREVIOUSMONTH('All Web Site Data'[Date - Copy])),   /*PREVIOUSMONTH gets all the days from the previous month. FIRSTDATE returns the first day of that month.*/
            LASTDATE(DATEADD('All Web Site Data'[Date - Copy],-1,MONTH))  /*DATEADD allows us to navigate a number of periods back in time. LASTDATE gets the last date.*/
         )
     )

But this occurs:
