Rolling 4 hours average

Hi Experts,

DineshArivu_0-1773405353547.png

 

Add one more column "Rolling 4 hours Average", it has to map current row MIPS value + previous 3 , then divided by 4.
we have a slicers to filter by region, by month, by date.

after this "Rolling 4 hours Average" created, we have to calculate MAX MIPS value without 4 hours rolling by Month and MAX MIPS value with 4 hours rolling by month.

 

I have tried the below DAX by result is not as expected.

Rolling 4h Avg (strict ÷ 4) =
VAR RelationDistinct =
    SUMMARIZE (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS' ),
        'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[LPAR],
        'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[MetricDateTime_1]
    )
VAR W =
    WINDOW (
        -3, 0,
        RelationDistinct,
        ORDERBY ( 'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[MetricDateTime_1], ASC ),
        PARTITIONBY ( 'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[LPAR] )
    )
VAR Sum4 = SUMX ( W, [MAX MIPS])
RETURN DIVIDE ( Sum4, 4 )
 
Please help to fix this asap.

Thanks DK

Hi Experts,

As per my requirement, I have to showcase rolling 4 hours average MIPS values - MIPS = Processing power of your mainframe (higher = more work being done)
I have already created a measure and applied in a new sample page with sample columns and it looks OK when I used to add with few columns with external filters as below :

DineshArivu_0-1773651462533.png

1st 3 rows blank as we don't have strictly 4 rows previously (12am,1am,2am only there) to calculate 4hrs rolling, from the 4th row the calculation starts and giving the expected value as a result.

but the same measure is not working as expected when it applies to original table (More fields) as below :

it should work with or without any external filters applied .

DAX i used :

Rolling 4h Avg__ =
 VAR RelationDistinct = SUMMARIZE ( ALLSELECTED ( 'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS' ), 'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[LPAR]'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[SERIAL]'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[WDID],'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[CLIENT_NAME],'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[MetricDateTime_1] )
 VAR W = WINDOW ( -30RelationDistinctORDERBY ( 'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[MetricDateTime_1]ASC ), PARTITIONBY ( 'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[LPAR]'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[SERIAL],'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[WDID]'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[CLIENT_NAME]) )
 VAR Rows4 = COUNTROWS ( W ) VAR Sum4 = SUMX ( W[MAX MIPS] )
RETURN IF ( Rows4 = 4DIVIDE ( Sum44 ), BLANK() )
 
Please help to sort this asap .

Maybe something like this will work for you...
Create a calculated column

Rolling 4 Hours Average = 
var _fourHours = 
[DateTime] - (1/24*4)
var _currTime = 
[DateTime]
var _result = 
SUMX(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[LPAR] = [LPAR] && ('Table'[DateTime] <= _currTime) && 'Table'[DateTime] >= _fourHours), [MIPS])/4
RETURN
_result

 

Create measure

Max MIPS = 
var _max = 
SUMMARIZE(
    ALLSELECTED('Table'),
    'Table'[DateTime].[Year],
    'Table'[DateTime].[Month],
    "__max", DIVIDE(MAX('Table'[MIPS]), MAX('Table'[Rolling 4 Hours Average]))
)
RETURN
MAXX(_max, [__max])

 

It may not be the exact answer, but it should get you pointed in the right direction.

@jgeddes Thanks for your solution. Unfortunately your rolling avg DAX taking very long time to create and not finished. It may be related to huge rows.

I have already created a measure for this and it looks OK when I used to add with few columns as below :

 VAR W = WINDOW ( -3, 0, RelationDistinct, ORDERBY ( 'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[MetricDateTime_1], ASC ), PARTITIONBY ( 'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[LPAR], 'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[SERIAL],'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[WDID], 'VW_MF_TRANSACTIONS'[CLIENT_NAME]) )
 VAR Rows4 = COUNTROWS ( W ) VAR Sum4 = SUMX ( W, [MAX MIPS] )
RETURN IF ( Rows4 = 4, DIVIDE ( Sum4, 4 ), BLANK() )
 
Please help to sort this asap .
