Seasonality chart showing 5 year average
Dear All,
I was wondering if there is a way to calculate an average of the seasonality data, essentially showing a best fit curving through the middle of the graph below. How would I calculate it as I want it to be dynamic, and change when I change product type or location for example. Also, how can it be displayed as it is an average and will no longer be a date in the legend.
In excel, it is easy to create, as I just create a table with an 'Average' column
Many thanks if you are able to help
i have create a PBIX file that does what your after (using some randomised data).
if you need help in understanding the sheet then let me know
in order to get the avarage and 5 year values into one chart i needed to create a 5yer table that had the values of the years you want to compare.
this is then used to genarte 5 measues for tha values of each year
i then created a measure for the avarage of these 5 years
all 6 measures can then be used in a line chart with month to show what you wanted

Do you have a source pbix file or an excel file with some sample data.
