Restrict DATESINPERIOD measure

[cfrance]

Hello I am using the measure below to create a 7 day running average graph but I would like to exclude the last say 5 days data as it gives an average of less than 7 days of full data  - the graph lines drops to zero. Is this possible?  

CY22 7 Day Running AV = calculate([Total Weight]/7,DATESINPERIOD('Date Lookup'[Normalized Date],max('Date Lookup'[Normalized Date]),-7,DAY),'Date Lookup'[Crop Year] = 2022)

Thank you

@cfrance Maybe:

CY22 7 Day Running AV = calculate([Total Weight]/7,DATESINPERIOD('Date Lookup'[Normalized Date],max('Date Lookup'[Normalized Date])-5,-7,DAY),'Date Lookup'[Crop Year] = 2022)

Thank you @Greg_Deckler  - I tried adding the -5 days but it looks like it offsets the entire curve by 5 days

This is the wasy I finally solved this - 

CY22 7 Day Running AV = if(max('Date Lookup'[Normalized Date])>today(),blank(),calculate([Total Weight]/7,DATESINPERIOD('Date Lookup'[Normalized Date],max('Date Lookup'[Normalized Date]),-7,DAY),'Date Lookup'[Crop Year] = 2022))

by using an if statement to test if there was data present

Thanks
