Hello everyone!
I Have the follow problem, I want to do a moving average backwards.
for example, as the table below:
| Date | Value |
| 01/01/2019 | 10 |
| 02/01/2019 | 11 |
| 03/01/2019 | 14 |
| 04/01/2019 | 15 |
| 05/01/2019 | 18 |
| 06/01/2019 | 19 |
| 07/01/2019 | 18 |
| 08/01/2019 | 20 |
| 09/01/2019 | 14 |
| 10/01/2019 | 25 |
So what I want to show is: On date 10/01/2019, the value that must show is 25.
On day 09/01/2019, it must show the average between day 10 and 9, given me a total of 19,5 (That is (20+14)/2)
On day 08/01, it must show an average of the days 10, 9 and 8, given me a total of 19,6 (That is (20+14+25)/3)
On day 07/01 must show the average of the day 10,9,8,7 and so on....
How can I do this?
Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous
You may create a measure like below:
Measure =
DIVIDE (
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Table2[Value] ),
FILTER ( ALL ( Table2 ), Table2[Date] >= MAX ( Table2[date] ) )
),
COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( ALL ( Table2 ), Table2[Date] >= MAX ( Table2[date] ) ) )
)

Custom1 = List.Skip(List.Accumulate(#"Added Index"[Value],{0},(state,current)=> state&{List.Last(state)+current})),

#"Sorted Rows1" = Table.Sort(#"Inserted Division",{{"Column3", Order.Descending}}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Sorted Rows1",{"Column3", "Column4"}),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Columns",{{"Column1", "Date"}, {"Column2", "Value"}})
in
#"Renamed Columns"
