Average Headcount Measure for Fiscal Year

Hi, 

 

I'm getting a totally different figure below for my Average Headcount for Fiscal Year 23, can someone please check my measure below and correct where I've gone wrong. My page has a Fiscal Year filter and the FY Start Month is April in my dates calendar.

 

Any help with this is much appreciated!

 

Average Headcount FY 2.jpgAverage Headcount FY.jpg

Avg. Headcount FY = 
VAR v_fydates = DATESINPERIOD(DimDates[Date], MAX(DimDates[Date]),12,MONTH)
RETURN
AVERAGEX(v_fydates, [Headcount])

The below measure works and brings my average headcount to 10766 which matches the Excel calculation in my screen shot.

Avg. Headcount FY = AVERAGEX(VALUES(DimDates[Month & Year]),[Headcount])

@GJ217 ,

 

You can use the below code:

 

Avg. Headcount FY =
VAR v_fydates =
    DATESINPERIOD(
        DimDates[Date],
        MAX(DimDates[Date]),
        12,
        MONTH
    )
RETURN
    AVERAGEX(
        FILTER(DimDates, DimDates[Date] IN v_fydates),
        [Headcount]
    )

 

 

Best Regards,

Ajith Prasath

Hi @AjithPrasath 

 

Thanks but this is giving me the same figure as Mar-23 11013 in my card visual, is there another way to write this so I can get the accurate figure for the 12 months in a fiscal year example provided in my screenshots? 

 

Any help with this will be great  for my development.

can you try this

 

Avg. Headcount FY =
CALCULATE(
    AVERAGE([Headcount]),
    DATESINPERIOD(
        DimDates[Date],
        MAX(DimDates[Date]),
        -12,
        MONTH
    )
)
