@Anonymous , create a new column like

New column = "APPL" & (Quotient([countrows test] -1,7) +1 )

Hi @Anonymous  👋

 

Can you explain how you generated the "Countrows test" column in the first place ? I need a similar field to create an id identifying which data came before which.

 

Many thanks and have a great day, 🙂

Hi,

Paste data in a format that can be taken to an MS Excel file.  Also, against which number of column A do you want see AAPL1 or AAPL2 - should it be against 1 or 7?

Hi @Syndicate_Admin 

 

Can you please do such calculations in Power Query, not in DAX? Power Query is the right place for this. In DAX it's possible but will be 1) ugly and 2) slow.

Hi,

 

How about doing somting like the following:

 

Dividing the cycle length into 4 pieces each piece has 2 rows (Dates). Then take the sum of the change column and avarege it out. How would you implement something along those line?
