MAT for custom time format

Hi all,   I have my own custom time frame where every year is splitted in 13 4-week time periods.   Year 4-week time period 2018 1 2018 2 2018 3 2018 4 2018 5 2018 6 ...

    No worries, there is always a way!

     

    Back in our table, I added a "Product" column with "Apple, Banana, Pear".  Now, what we need to do is modify that "Index" column not to just look at the Year4WkID, but also the Product.  Our new code:

    Index = 
    Var CurrentYrWk= MAT[Year4wkID]
    VAR CurrentProduct= MAT[Product]
    RETURN
    CALCULATE(
        COUNTROWS(
            FILTER( ALL ( 'MAT'),
            MAT[Year4wkID] <= CurrentYrWk
            && MAT[Product] = CurrentProduct
            )
        )
    )

    This will give us the count of rows of all the rows that that are less than or equal to the current row's Year4WkId AND where the currrent row's Product is the same:

     

    Need to modify the MAT code as well:

    MAT = 
    IF( MAX( MAT[Index]) >=12,
            AVERAGEX(
            FILTER(
                 ALLEXCEPT(MAT,MAT[Product]),
                    MAT[Index] <= MAX(MAT[Index])
                        && MAT[Index] >= MAX(MAT[Index])-11
            ),
        [MAT Sales]
       ),
     "Not Enough Data"
    )
    • Got rid of the countrows to check for enough data, have that # available via the Idex column.  I used max in order to make the grand totals work as well
    • Want to use ALLEXCEPT instead of ALL.  This tells dax to ignore all the filteres except the one placed on product 

     

    I think that is what may have had in mind?
