% Cumulative inflation

I have the following table with the monthly inflations of each period. I need to create an accumulated measure, to calculate the % of inflation accumulated to each month. What I would need is that when selecting a certain period, I mark the accumulated inflation of that entire period. For example if filter selecting 8 months, check the accumulated inflation of those 8 months, and so on.
I would also like to have an option that when selecting a certain month, throws me the accumulated inflation of the last 12 months, from that month selected individually.

@Syndicate_Admin , with help from a date table you can have measure like, assuming inflation is the column

 

Rolling 12 = CALCULATE(Average(Table[inflation %]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],MAX('Date'[Date ]),-12,MONTH))

 

here 12 can be coming from a what if parameter

I have the same interest. Were you able to solve it somehow? I can't find how to make it so that the user can opt for the base period in which inflation begins to accumulate. What I found in the forum only shows to calculate inflation for all rows of the table.
