How can I write Dax that will give me the average of Quarter 1's numbers below?:
It's tricky because when using the AVERAGE function, I'm not allowed to select my [Retention] measure for some reason, so I've been trying to find another way to calculate this and have so it is always calculating the average retention for the previous quarter.
Try AVERAGEX, something like:
Measure = AVERAGEX(FILTER('Table',[Year]=2018 && [Quarter]="Qtr 1"),[Retention])
