How to create Rolling Average with +/-St. Dev. Band

Hi,

I have a time series column (e.g. date with stock index price). I want to show this stock index as line chart, with 365-day moving average, and +/- 1 std. dev. I created 3 measures on this index:  the moving average (MA); the MA+1 std. dev; and MA-1 std. dev. So the chart should like this:

Besides, I want the date-axis respond to a date slicer. But when I change the dates slicer, the chart becomes the following. The date-axis didn't respond, only the stock index partially disappeared, and the 3 measures also behaving wierdly.

(P.S. the measure's value for each day shouldn't change when the date slicer changes)

So, how do I modify my formula to make this work? Here's the formula for the MA+1 std. dev. measure. 

 

Many thanks! Much appreciate you help!

 

 

 

StockIndex_1YMA+sd = 
VAR __LAST_DATE = LASTDATE('Data'[Dates].[Date])
RETURN
	AVERAGEX(
		DATESBETWEEN(
			'Data'[Dates].[Date],
			DATEADD(__LAST_DATE, -365, DAY),
			DATEADD(__LAST_DATE, 365, DAY)
			),
		CALCULATE(AVERAGE('Data'[StockIndex]))
       )
    + CALCULATE(STDEVX.S('Data','Data'[StockIndex]),ALL())

Hi @wlf0032 

Do you want to keep the visual in red box and show others in blank?

I think you can add a If function in your measure.

New = 
If (Date[Dates]>= MIN(Date[Dates])&&Date[Dates]<=MAX(Date[Dates]),[StockIndex_1YMA+sd],blank())

Or you can try to create an unrelated date table to build the slicer. Then create New measure based on unrelated date table.

thanks! IF functions works! but i did it the following way (1Y MA is blank when dates are not selected):

 

IF(ISBLANK([Index 1YMA]),"",[Index 1YMA] - CALCULATE(STDEVX.S('Data','Data'[Index]),ALLSELECTED()))

I created a Power BI file using MSFT close value, please check if this fits your requirements. I didn't quite understand +1 and -1 here. 

MA 365 = 
CALCULATE(
    AVERAGE(MSFT[Close]),
    DATESINPERIOD( Dates[Date] , MAX(Dates[Date]) , -365 , DAY )
)
Std + 1 = 
[MA 365] + 
STDEVX.S(
    DATESINPERIOD( Dates[Date] , MAX(Dates[Date]) , -365 , DAY ),
    [Close Value]
)
Std - 1 = 
[MA 365] - 
STDEVX.S(
    DATESINPERIOD( Dates[Date] , MAX(Dates[Date]) , -365 , DAY ),
    [Close Value]
)

Really appreciate your solution! I tried your way, but this seems doesn't solve my problem.

1. the std dev measure shouldn't be a moving measure. It should be static, i.e. std dev of all available data.

2. this won't help with the date slicer issue. when I filter the date slicer, this std dev still shows on the chart for those dates being filtered out.

 

Thanks anyway!

@wlf0032 

Got it, you can calculate the STDEV as follows. I did not understand what you meant by  "and +/- 1 std. dev. "

Std + 1 = [MA 365] + STDEVX.S( ALL( Dates[Date] ) ,  [Close Value] )


Std - 1  = [MA 365] + STDEVX.S( ALL( Dates[Date] ) ,  [Close Value] )
