Help with creating column which calulcates averrage values based on month + year value

Hello community, 

 

Trying to see if there's a n easy way to implement column with DAX calculating following:

 

There is a table with a item, 50-60 per month, I want to calculate average values for them per month per each item conditionally based on their Month and Year , so as result, column would be populated with Average values per respective dates, taking to consideration Month + Year of items:

 

IDValuesMonth YearAverage value ??
1234510October2022Sum of all values in October 2022 / count of October 2022 = 10 +5 /2 = 7.5
2345620November2022Sum of all values in Novemeber 2022/ count of November 2022 = 20/1 = 20
3456715September2022Sum of all values in September 2022/ count of September 2022
456785October2022Sum of all values in October 2022 / count of October 2022
56789010August2022Sum of all values in August 2022/ count of August 2022
67890120October2023Sum of all values in October 2023/ count of October 2023
78901210August2023Sum of all values in August 2023/ count of August 2023
8901235November2023Sum of all values in Novemeber 2023/ count of Novemeber 2023

 

I suppose this can be achives by combining COUNTROWS + AVERAGE + PARALELLPERIOD, but can't wrap my head around actualy DAX to make it work correctly -- would appreaciate your guidance!

Hi,

AVG value CC =
VAR _newtable =
    FILTER (
        Data,
        Data[Year] = EARLIER ( Data[Year] )
            && Data[Month] = EARLIER ( Data[Month] )
    )
RETURN
    SUMX ( _newtable, Data[Values] ) / COUNTROWS ( _newtable )

Currently these values are calculcated as Year= YEAR(Data[Date]).

Hi,

The suggest DAX formula is for creating a new column.

Could you please share your sample pbix file's link here? And then I can try to look into your sample pbix file to come up with a more accurate solution.

Thank you.

As suspected, this was an issue with format of these two columns -- I did new extraction of year + month and your DAX worked, thanks!

 

If I want to add extra argument to FILTER to also only consider another column for this calculation,  for example if column = "Test" text value, can I add it directly to this formula?

Hi,

Thank you for your reply, and I think it will work. If not, please share your sample pbix file and then I can try to look into it.

Thanks.
