Power Query how to get the date just before another date
Hello,
I need to calculate the average value of the column "value" for the former sprint. I have added a column "date of end" which the date of end of each sprint.
I have added a custom column that shows 1 when "asofdate" = "date of end" so that I know the average we had at the end of a sprint. But that way I can have a match also for past or future sprints. I need only to have a match for my former sprint that is over.
How can I calculate this average please?

The simplest way is fill up and group by the end date to get the average value.
Steps:
1. Fill up
2. Group by
Or just copy and paste the following code into advanced editor and then check the applied steps.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("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", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [asofdate = _t, url = _t, KPI_name = _t, Value = _t, #"Date of end" = _t, Custom = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"asofdate", type date}, {"url", type text}, {"KPI_name", type text}, {"Value", type number}, {"Date of end", type date}, {"Custom", Int64.Type}}), #"Filled Up" = Table.FillUp(#"Changed Type",{"Date of end"}), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Filled Up", {"Date of end"}, {{"Average of former sprint", each List.Average([Value]), type nullable number}}) in #"Grouped Rows"Paul Zheng _ Community Support Team
