Dynamic Average (calendar year to date)

Hi experts! 🙂

 

I am trying to create a dynamic average of the sales based on the current year sales (calendar year to date)
so it would be the average sales from jan'2020 until july'2020

and then when I ad August, it would add up August and calculate the new average based on the 8 months from the year
What formula should I use? I tried using Averagex, but I think I missed something.

 

thanks for the help

    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.

     

    Table:

     

    You may create  calculated columns and a measure as below to get the average of Sales from January2020 until the latest month(August) that year.
    Calculated column:

    Year = YEAR('Table'[Date])

Month = MONTH('Table'[Date])

YearMonth = YEAR('Table'[Date])*100+MONTH('Table'[Date])

     

    Measure:

    Avg = 
DIVIDE(
    CALCULATE(
        SUM('Table'[Sell Out(MSU)]),
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'),
            [Year]=YEAR(TODAY())&&
            [Month]>=1&&
            [Month]<=MONTH(TODAY())
        )
    ),
    CALCULATE(
        DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[YearMonth]),
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'),
            [Year]=YEAR(TODAY())&&
            [Month]>=1&&
            [Month]<=MONTH(TODAY())
        )
    )
)

     

    Result:

     

    Best Regards

    Hi Anonymous 

     

    Can you try this ----- YTD Avg = CALCULATE(AVERAGE(Table[Value]), DATESYTD(Table[Date], "mention the date here"))

    In order to make YTD dynamic at the place of "mention the date here" you can use some time intelligence table probably.
