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.
