Trailing Week Average

Hi everyone, 

 

I have just started using Power BI and DAX however I have been struggling with a trailing average measure. My data is sorted like the example data below.

 

The problem I am having is that all functions seem to aim at dates instead of week numbers.

What formula could create a trailing average for 12 weeks excluding the current week? 

 

Kind regards, 

Majesteit

Dear Greg, 

 

Thank you for the response, it is working for the individual sales values however I need the sum of the entire week and then the average for the sum of the different weeks. 

 

Kind regards

@Anonymous You will need to do something like:

Measure = 
  VAR __CurrentWeek = WEEKNUM(TODAY())
  VAR __StartWeek = __CurrentWeek - 13
RETURN
  AVERAGEX(FILTER('Table', [Week No] >= __StartWeek && [Week No] < __CurrentWeek),[Salesvalue])
