Data aggregation - not rolling

Hi,

 

I am creating a report with data that spans one year. However, the data comes in with 6 values per day. The data is fluctuacting much, so the grahps get almost unreadable.

 

I can display monthly data, as I have two columns coming in (using three different SQL-questions when retrieving data from a database, aggregated by hour / day / month). However, monthly data is not useful in all tables, as it is too aggreated.

 

I have added the week of the month and grouped the data using this column - but the, it's the week of the year that gets displayed in the X-axis (and that is not really user-friendly).

 

It does not necessarily have to be per-week, just aggregated a bit more. 5 days together would be sufficient as well. I'd not like to have a rolling average, but an average over a number of of days that is somewhere between hourly and monthly.

 

Is there someone that has a solution for this? It would be really appreciated.

Hi,

 

As you can see in the picture below, the graps are very difficult to interpret:

The source data (dummy values) looks like this:

When taking the monthly averages, it looks something like this (not the same data, just an example):

This data is taken from a file that is structured the same way, but it contains data per-month.

 

So what I'd like to have, is something in between. Would that be possible? I'd like to avoid formatting / aggregating the data too much before loading it into Power BI.
