Rolling Average visualisation issue Column Chart

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I have a problem with the measure of the 3mth rolling average to visualise it correctly on the graph. 

The data model is here: 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1naChcuZtjSbk0pVEi1xKuTZhSY7Rpabc0OCbmxowQME/edit?usp=sharing

I am using the formula below to calculate 3mth average 

Product3Mth = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Product A uncum]);DATESINPERIOD('Table'[Date];LASTDATE('Table'[Date]);-3;MONTH))/3

When I am plotting it as a table it is showing right values for each month. 

But When I amplotting it in the column chart together with Product A Accumulated I am getting wrong value which is the value for Product unaccum /3 insted of sum of 3 consecutive values for Product unaccum /3.

Take a look. 

What should I change in the DAX to have it visualised correctly?  Please HELP

Hi I noticed difference which i have to avoid somehow. It is between the table and the graph visualisation of data. 

Please take a look at my data model: 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1naChcuZtjSbk0pVEi1xKuTZhSY7Rpabc0OCbmxowQME/edit?usp=sharing

To calculate my Product 3Mth Average I am using the dax below

Product 3 Mth AVG = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Product A  uncum]);DATESINPERIOD('Table'[Date];LASTDATE('Table'[Date]);-3;MONTH))/3

It is showing the right numbers when i will place it in the table. 

BUT

When I am placing it on the graph it is showing it in this way

How Can I change the formula to present it in the right way. Now it is taking the difference between current month and previous one and divide by 3 which is not what i wanted to do.  Please help

Hi,

Write this measure and drag it to your visual

=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Product A uncum]);DATESINPERIOD('Table'[Date];LASTDATE('Table'[Date]);-3;MONTH))

Hope this helps.

Hi @Anonymous,

I'd like to suggest you use below measure formula if it suitable for your requirement:

Product3Mth =
VAR currDate =
    MAX ( 'Table'[Date] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Product A uncum] );
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' );
            'Table'[Date]
                >= DATE ( YEAR ( currDate ); MONTH ( currDate ) - 3; DAY ( currDate ) )
                && 'Table'[Date] <= currDate
        )
    )
        / 3
