Hello everyone,
I am struggling to get a MEDIAN value for a specific time limit (just only for the first 3 or 4 months).
The data set is daily data but I would like to compute the Median value after aggregating by monthly.

I have the above table and it would be easy if we get the median value from this dataset.
But what I am trying is that SUM( [Views] ) by monthly and finding MEDIAN, it would be for 3 months or 4 months.
So, monthly views, Median and Median for the first 3 month would be look like below,
Year | Month | Total Views | Median | Median for 3 months |
2022 | 9 | 98 | 99.5 | 101 |
2022 | 10 | 106 | 99.5 | 101 |
2022 | 11 | 101 | 99.5 | 101 |
2022 | 12 | 77 | 99.5 | 101 |
The presenting would be just like above table or creating a line chart over Year,Month level.
Please help me to write the DAX formula to get this MEDIAN value.
Thank you for your help and if the question does not make sense, I will try to rephrase.
Thanks.

Hi, @Anonymous
You can try the following methods.
Measure:
4month =
Var _table=SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Year],'Table'[Month],"Sum",[Total View])
Return
MEDIANX(_table,[Sum])
3month =
Var _table=SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Year],'Table'[Month],"Sum",[Total View])
Return
MEDIANX(FILTER(_table,[Month]>=9&&[Month]<=11),[Sum])
2month =
Var _table=SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Year],'Table'[Month],"Sum",[Total View])
Return
MEDIANX(FILTER(_table,[Month]>=9&&[Month]<=10),[Sum])
Is this the result you expect?

Hi, @Anonymous
You can try the following methods.
Measure:
Total Views = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Users]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Year],'Table'[Month]))
MEDIAN = MEDIANX(ALL('Table'),[Total Views])
Is this the result you expect?

Thank you @v-zhangti . Your answer helps me a lot.
I am curious why the MEDIAN did not result 99.5?
MEDIAN should be 99.5 and MEDIAN for the first 3 months should be 101.00. Am I right?
May I know how can I customize if I want to calculate only just for 2 months, 3 months, etc?
