YTD average of monthly YTD

Hello all,

 

I am new to PowerBI and I hope you can help me with this issue. I am trying to calculate a YTD average of the YTD. for further clarification I have this table:

Date Owned Space (sqm)
January1000
February-100
March 20
April0
May-40
June32
July108
August-2

 

we usually start with the current owned space in January and register the chage in the following months. Therefore, the best way to measure our current owned space is YTD, wich I obtain with a dax measure:

YTD sqm= TOTALYTD('Table 1'[Owned Space (sqm)],'Table1'[Date])

I then get the following table:

Date Owned Space (sqm)YTD sqm
January10001000
February-100900
March 20920
April0920
May-40880
June32912
July1081020
August-21018

 

Now, what I want to calculate is the YTD average of YTD sqm. Which month by month would be something like

YTD average sqm March= (YTD sqm January+ YTD sqm February + YTD sqm March)/3 

and the same for each month

DateOwned surface (sqm)YTD sqmYTD average sqm
January100010001000.0
February-100900950.0
March 20920940.0
April0920935.0
May-40880924.0
June32912922.0
July1081020936.0
August-21018946.3

 

Wich measure can I use to achieve this (last column)?

 

Thank you in advance! 😊

Hello @paojira 
Check the below calculation
Average YTD =
TOTALYTD ( SUM ( 'Month YTD'[YTD sqm] ), 'Month YTD'[Date] )
Note you must have a proper date column.

Hi Tarun, thank you for your reply, I tried to use the formula you mentioned. I just used SUMX instead of SUM, otherwise it won't accept me introducing a DAX measure:

Average YTD= TOTALYTD (SUMX('Table 1', [YTD sqm]), 'Table1'[Date])

The result however is now what I'm looking for, this just gives me the same numbers as I was getting with my YTD sqm measure. What I want to get is the YTD of the YTD basically.

 

Best regards,

 

Paola

Hello @paojira 
Mine above formula should work but for that, you need the proper date in the YTD measure.
Do you have a date column values like "2020/12/12"?
