Bill_OC ,

Try like

QTD Avg Sales = CALCULATE(averagex(Values(Date[Month Year])CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]))) ,DATESQTD(('Date'[Date])))

 

Qtr Sales = CALCULATE(averagex(Values(Date[Month Year])CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]))) ,DATESQTD(ENDOFQUARTER('Date'[Date])))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.

Thanks for reply, the name of my dataset is 2018 and the column called Month has just months and the column FTE % is the column is wish to get the average off across the quarters

 

QTD Avg Sales = CALCULATE(averagex(Values('2018'[Month])CALCULATE(SUM('2018'[FTE %]))) ,DATESQTD(('2018'[Month])))
 
I have filled out your first formula to match my dataset but its not working. Any tips?
