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

i have create a PBIX file that does what your after (using some randomised data).

PBIX FILE

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
