Progressive Average

Hi,
I would like to reproduce this table, made in excel, in DAX.

 

IDDATE_PERIODMP_PLAN_DELTAAverage
127.10.193=AVERAGE(C2;C4;C6)
227.10.195=AVERAGE(C3;C5;C7)
128.11.196=AVERAGE(C4;C6;C8)
228.11.198=AVERAGE(C5;C7;C9)
129.12.197=AVERAGE(C6;C8;C10)
229.12.195=AVERAGE(C7;C9;C11)
130.01.196
230.01.198
101.02.195..
201.02.197..
102.03.193
2

02.03.19

6

 

The aim is to obtain the average value over the 3 months and progressively continue.

I'm trying to use this command:

CALCULATE(SUM(COPR_DETAIL[MP_PLAN_DELTA]);DATESINPERIOD(COPR_DETAIL[DATE_PERIOD].[Month];FIRSTDATE(COPR_DETAIL[DATE_PERIOD].[Month]); 3; MONTH))

 

It's not good. 

do you have any ideas ?

Hi,
Thank you for your answer. The problem I am facing is to do the spread over the three months.
Now I'm trying to use this formula:

MM - ManMonths (Media - I Round)_MM = CALCULATE(AVERAGE(MM[MP_PLAN_DELTA_MM]);DATESINPERIOD(MM[DATE_PERIOD].[Date];MM[DATE_PERIOD]; 2;MONTH))

It seems to be fine in the total picture. As soon as I try to use some filters, it no longer makes sense.
Can I send you the file so you can actually see what my problem is?

@Anonymous ,

 

To be general, you may modify the measure like pattern below:

Result =
VAR Current_Month =
    MONTH ( COPR_DETAIL[DATE_PERIOD] )
VAR Previous_Month = Current_Month - 3
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( COPR_DETAIL[MP_PLAN_DELTA] );
        FILTER (
            COPR_DETAIL;
            COPR_DETAIL[DATE_PERIOD] <= Current_Month
                && COPR_DETAIL[DATE_PERIOD] >= Previous_Month
        )
    )

Which field does the filter apply on? To be general, you can use function ALLSELECTED() to apply the filters in your measure. You can upload the sample file to onedrive.

Hi,
I solved the problem with the DATESINPERIOD formula I used 60 days instead of 2 months.

I don't know the problem but it is the solution.
