How to get 3 month Rolling Average from a measure

Hello,

 

I'm attempting to obtain a three-month rolling average from a measure that was created to fill in missing values in various months. The current rolling average measure I developed works for the values in the table that were there but not for the values that were filled. Can somebody offer their knowledge on this? A link to the file is provided below.

 

Thanks.

@sidvix917 , You can try measure like examples 

 

3 Month Avg = CALCULATE(AverageX(Values('Date'[MONTH Year]),calculate(Sum('Table'[Value])))
,DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],MAX('Date'[Date ]),-3,MONTH))

 

Rolling 3 = CALCULATE(AverageX(Values('Date'[MONTH Year]),calculate(Sum('Table'[Value]))), WINDOW(-2,REL, 0, REL, ADDCOLUMNS(ALLSELECTED('Date'[Month Year],'Date'[Month Year Sort] ),ORDERBY([Month Year Sort],asc)))

Hey Amit,

 

Thank you very much. I used the following measure, and it works; I need to fine-tune it. I need to start the rolling average after the first two months and conclude with the last figure.

3 months rolling =
CALCULATE(AVERAGEX(VALUES(Dates[Month & Year]),[Last Date with Data]),DATESINPERIOD(Dates[Date],MAX(Dates[Date]),-3,MONTH))
