Moving Average Of Calculated Measure

Hi All,   I would like to calculate the moving average of an already calculated (% of grand total) measure. I've tried a lot of solutions but none of them seem to work correctly.   Table structur...

    Hi brekeke,

     

    Please try this formula.

    Measure 2 =
VAR weekPeriods =
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( tbl_periods_all[Period Column] ),
        DATESINPERIOD (
            'Calendar'[Date],
            MIN ( tbl_periods_all[Start Of Period] ),
            -21,
            DAY
        ),
        ALL ( tbl_periods_all[Period Column] )
    )
VAR pPeriods =
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( tbl_periods_all[Period Column] ),
        DATESINPERIOD (
            'Calendar'[Date],
            MIN ( 'tbl_periods_all'[Start Of Period] ),
            -7,
            MONTH
        ),
        ALL ( tbl_periods_all[Period Column] )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        MIN ( 'Period Selector'[period] ) = "Week",
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( data[fact] ),
            DATESINPERIOD (
                'Calendar'[Date],
                MIN ( 'tbl_periods_all'[Start Of Period] ),
                -21,
                DAY
            ),
            ALL ( tbl_periods_all[Period Column] )
        )
            / weekPeriods,
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( data[fact] ),
            DATESINPERIOD (

Hi brekeke,

 

I made a few changes in your file. Please check it out here.

The measure is:

Measure =
IF (
    MIN ( 'Period Selector'[period] ) = "Week",
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( data[fact] ),
        DATESINPERIOD (
            'Calendar'[Date],
            MIN ( 'tbl_periods_all'[Start Of Period] ),
            -21,
            DAY
        ),
        ALL ( tbl_periods_all[Period Column] )
    ),
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( data[fact] ),
        DATESINPERIOD (
            'Calendar'[Date],
            MIN ( 'tbl_periods_all'[Start Of Period] ),
            -7,
            MONTH
        ),
        ALL ( tbl_periods_all[Period Column] )
    )
)

    Hi v-jiascu-msft/Dale,

     

    This solution works for a rolling total, but it needs to be modified a bit for the moving average because if we divide the sum by 3 (I need the 3-period moving average), the first two periods will be wrong. So I will need to work on that a bit further.

     

    Thanks,

    brekeke

        Hi v-jiascu-msft,

         

        This works for me, except that for the first 2 periods (in case of a 3-period moving average), I would like to see zeros or blanks.

         

        On the other hand, I realized that I hadn't been that specific with my example. I will open another thread and link it here. Maybe you can provide with something for that challenge as well.

         

        Many thanks for your help,
