Calculating P12M data but excluding blank months
- 7 years ago
Hi joyceleeyw ,
One sample for your reference, please check the following steps as below.
1. Create a calculated column in the fact table.
YM = FORMAT('Table'[date],"yyyymmmm")2. After that, we can create measures as below to get P12 or P6 average.
average p12M = VAR A = MAX ( 'Table'[date] ) VAR p12 = EDATE ( A, -12 ) RETURN DIVIDE ( CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[value] ), FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[date] >= p12 && 'Table'[date] <= A ) ), CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[YM] ), FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[date] >= p12 && 'Table'[date] <= A ) ) )average p6M = VAR A = MAX ( 'Table'[date] ) VAR p12 = EDATE ( A, -6 ) RETURN DIVIDE ( CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[value] ), FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[date] >= p12 && 'Table'[date] <= A ) ), CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[YM] ), FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[date] >= p12 && 'Table'[date] <= A ) ) )For more details, please check the pbix as attached.
Hi joyceleeyw ,
So no problem.
SUMX (Table, IF(Table[SalesRevenue]>0,1) replaces your 12. Table is the name of table in your case it seems to be LD_PBI
So SUMX (LD_PBI,[Whatever column that has your sales revenue]>0,1) just asks whether there is any revenue for that month, if there is, it gives you a 1. Then it sums those up, and works for your denominator. It can be any month missing or none it will always give you the proper value.
One other thing, you are using "/", instead you might use the DIVIDE () as it doesn't create a problem in divide by zero...also known as the "safe" divide. DIVIDE(numerator,denominator)
If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.

Hi Nathaniel_C
MY data contains date from jul 2017 - jul 2019, more than 2 years. Which part of the formula tells power bi to do it for just 12 months and not the full 2 years?
Also cause cause i need to do a 3 months and 6 months average as well with the same data set

Hi joyceleeyw ,
So it looks like DATESINPERIOD(LD_PBI[Date],LASTDATE(LD_PBI[Date]),-12, is giving you a running total over the last 12 months, is that correct?

What is the column name that has your revenue that you are summing up?
