    Hi AdamD123

     

    I speculate the issue can be caused by the code:

     

    DATEDIFF(MIN (ItemLedgerEntries[Posting_Date]),MAX (ItemLedgerEntries[Posting_Date]),month)

     

     

    Maybe you can try to output the result for just this piece of code and see if it's 28.

    If not, please try this:

     

    MEASURE =
VAR _CountMonth =
    CALCULATE (
        DATEDIFF (
            MIN ( ItemLedgerEntries[Posting_Date] ),
            MAX ( ItemLedgerEntries[Posting_Date] ),
            MONTH
        ),
        ALLSELECTED ( ItemLedgerEntries )
    )
RETURN
    SUM ( ItemLedgerEntries[Quantity] ) / _CountMonth

     

     

    Hope it helps,

     

    Best Regards

Hello Anonymous ,

Thank you for your reply and help, your code seems to have worked! I can't say I understand it (my lack of Power BI knowledge) but it is certainly showing the correct figures, which I would expect to see when manually calculating.

Thank you ever so much for the help!
