Hi all, quite a simple problem for one of you geniuses.
I have the following simple measure that is calculating an Average by dividing the current number of months (i.e April currently = 4) from a Date table within a Card Visual.
AvgNewRolling =
DIVIDE(SUM('RefExpand'[New]), 4)
Unfortunately, every month I have to manually update this measure (next month will be 5). Any idea how I can change this measure, so it dynamically updates without having to manually update it ?
Many thanks!

PS
Apologies, I have no idea why the table formatting never works. I have read through the forum post/tutorial and tried all browsers etc.
Hi,
Does this measure work?
AvgNewRolling =
DIVIDE(SUM('RefExpand'[New]), MONTH(TODAY()))
