Perform an average per month and class

Dear,
I am trying to calculate the average amount for "n" years and months, as shown in the image attached. However, I have not found any right way to do it. Any advice or trick you can give me?

 

Thank you!

Regards,

Hi, @DanCasSan 

 

Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario.

Table:

d1.png

Calendar:

Calendar = CALENDARAUTO()

 

There is a one-to-many relationship between two tables. I create a 'Month-Year' column in 'Calendar' table.

Month-Year = 
IF(
    MONTH('Calendar'[Date])<10,
    YEAR('Calendar'[Date])&"0"&MONTH('Calendar'[Date]),
    YEAR('Calendar'[Date])&MONTH('Calendar'[Date])

)

 

You may create a measure as follows.

Average = 
IF(
    ISFILTERED('Calendar'[Month-Year]),
    BLANK(),
    DIVIDE(
        CALCULATE(
            SUM('Table'[Value]),
            ALL('Calendar'[Month-Year])
        ),
        CALCULATE(
            DISTINCTCOUNT('Calendar'[Month-Year]),
            ALLSELECTED('Calendar')
        )    
    )
)

 

Result:

Prefer to have date table with month year

 

AVERAGEX(summarize(Table,table[Month year],"_sum", SUM ( Table[Amount] )),"_sum")
AVERAGEX(values(table[Month year]),"_sum", SUM ( Table[Amount] )),"_sum")

AVERAGEX(summarize(Table,Date[Month year],"_sum", SUM ( Table[Amount] )),"_sum")
AVERAGEX(values(Date[Month year]),"_sum", SUM ( Table[Amount] )),"_sum")

Hello, thank you for your prompt response, I have done the following (attached code), but, it gives me the general average and, that is not what I need; what I need is that this average be based on period, storage and code as is to the image I put at the beginning.

 

SUMAVERA =
AVERAGEX(
SUMMARIZE(
DS_MPSMRP,
DS_MPSMRP[PERIODO],
DS_MPSMRP[PLWRK],
DS_MPSMRP[MATNR],
"AVERASUM",CALCULATE(SUM(DS_MPSMRP[MENGE]),FILTER(DS_MPSMRP,DS_MPSMRP[BWART]="261"))
),
[AVERASUM]
)

The formula seems fine as per the screenshot shared.

Can you share sample data and sample output. If possible please share a sample pbix file after removing sensitive information.Thanks.

Hi @DanCasSan ,

Try this:

Average =
AVERAGEX ( VALUES ( 'Table'[YYYYMM] ), SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ) )
