I am trying to get to the following output:

I have a related date table with a full date like 'Ledger_GLDJ'[full_date]. The first column is easy as its just a sum of the individual charges in that month. I got the cumulative actual to work, even though I not sure that is the correct way to do it
Cumulative Actual = TOTALYTD(SUM(Ledger[ActualDollars]),Ledger[GLDGJ],FILTER(ALL(Ledger_GLDJ[full_date]),Ledger_GLDJ[full_date] <= MAX(Ledger_GLDJ[full_date])))
But I cannot figure out how to get the last column, average month (based only in the current year). In principle, this would be the Cumulative Actual for a given month / the month count. So in the first month, I would be dividing cumulative total by 1, in the second month I would be dividing the new cumulative total by 2, etc.
any one able to help on this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Create MonthInt: MonthInt = month(Ledger[Date].[Date])
Create Calculated Column:
YTD - Total = Calculate(sum('Ledger'[ActualDollars]),FILTER(Ledger, Ledger[MonthInt]<=EARLIER(Ledger[MonthInt]) ) )
As my observation, the DAX above will generate same accumulative total result in each month
so you need to choose Maximum or Minimum or Average in the Fields properties to visualize:
(i will choose maximum)
Create Calculated Column by divided for distinctcount of month :
YTD - Avg = Calculate(SUM(Ledger[ActualDollars])/DISTINCTCOUNT(Ledger[MonthInt]),FILTER(Ledger, Ledger[MonthInt]<=EARLIER(Ledger[MonthInt]) ) )
And choose Don't summarize for that YTD - AVG value:
Please notice that if you add filter/slicer by Date level, when you select filters the result could be wrong in this scenario.
Or you could summarize(groupby) your data to another calculated table to ensure month is the lowest level of group by, then use the first expression.

@rwhitworth Hope this approach help to solve your problem. please kindly mark this as solution if it's working for your case.
i will mark it correct. you answered the question I asked. However, I have determined I have a new problem, I simplified the data set too much for the example. I actually need cumulative and monthly average by month AND by category. not sure how to do this.
@rwhitworth In that case, you need to use Calculated Measure in another approach (sorry for above solution cause it's my favorite solution)
Create measure:
Cumulative Actual = CALCULATE(sum(Ledger[ActualDollars]),FILTER(ALL(Dates[Date]),Dates[Date]<=MAX(Dates[Date]) ))
Avg Actual = CALCULATE(sum(Ledger[ActualDollars])/DISTINCTCOUNT(Ledger[Month]),FILTER(ALL(Dates[Date]),Dates[Date]<=MAX(Dates[Date]) ))
