Forward Forecasting Help

A little help is needed with a formula, any help would very much be appreciated 🙂 . I've been trying for ages and have had to resort to loading in a flat excel file. 

I'm trying to use the previous 3 months as an average to fill in the blanks. % .. I'll explain a little better below.... 

 

August would use may/june/july numbers... Easy enough. 

September would use the june/july and the recently created august average number.

October would use July/ the calculated august averageand the calculated september average.... 

 

Can anyone help please 🙂 I;ve attached an example below..

Hi, @RichardC 

It is currently difficult to implement recursive averaging in Power BI.

If possible, do something like this in excel, then import data into Power BI.

@RichardC , That needs a recursive approach which is kind of not supported in power bi, You can generate a limited number of forecast
