Equally distribute some value over periods

Hi there,

 

I am having issues in producing a line diagram that cumulatively distributes some value over periods in a linear way.

 

PeriodValue
11000
12000
22200
3200
4900
5-500
5-1000
6-200
7-800
8-800
91000
102000
112000
121000
129000

 

I am using Measure1 = SUM(Table1[Value])/12 that results in 18000/12=1500. Next, I am trying to create a line diagram that cumulates 1500 over 12 periods (1500, 3000, 4500, ..., 18000) using a second measure. I cannot add additional tables or columns to the data.

 

Do you have any idea?

 

Thank you so much!

Hi  @Anonymous ,

 

Create a measure as below:

Measure2 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value])/12,FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Period]<=MAX('Table'[Period])))

And you will see:
