    Hi Yak2792 ,

    First, please add one Index field for the related table in Power Query Editor. Then create a calculated column to get the average of Weighted Bonus:

    Weighted Bonus = 
DIVIDE (
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Bonus'[Bonus Calculation] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Bonus' ), 'Bonus'[Index] - 1 = EARLIER ( 'Bonus'[Index] ) )
    ) * 12 + 'Bonus'[Bonus Calculation] * 12,
    24
)

    add index column

    create calculated column

    Best Regards

Thank you for the reponse Anonymous .

 

Your solution would be super easy, but unfortunately these are not stored in a table, they are calculated measures, as well as columns from data pulled from 3 different tables.  You can see this below.

 

 

Is it possible to create a new table with this information in it?  I looked at this link, but in my case it won't work becasue the tables I'm trying to join are different sizes, one is a shift calendar and the other is the product information.

 

I guess as a fall back I could always enter data manually and then use the solution you provided, but ideally I would like to automate this as much as possible, as this report will be used by somebody else who is not a familiar with Power BI.

    Hi Yak2792 ,

    Could you please provide the structures of these three table and sample data(exclude sensitive data) using screen shots just like the one in below screen shot? Please also provide the formula if there is any measure be created. It is better if you can provide your sample PBIX file. I need to check if there are other feasible ways to achieve your requirement based on the above information you provided.Thank you.

    table structures and sample data

    Best Regards

      So I ended up finding a table similar to the one you listed above containing the shift by shift bonus numbers.  I followed your instructions above and everything works great now.  Thank you so much for your help, I will mark your post above as the solution.
