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])
