12 month moving average against a measure

[Anonymous]

Hey all,

Noob back again.

I am trying to create a chart to show 12 month rolling average for a measure that calculates the frequency of injuries occurred for every million hours worked. At the moment I am stuck on how to acheive this as I can only get it to display the value for each month.

Here is what I am doing..

Hi @Anonymous ,

Would you please try to use quick measure in power bi desktop? It will automatically create measures for you after you set correct options for it like the screenshot below:

You can use formula like

Rolling 12 = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD(Table[Date],ENDOFMONTH(Sales[Sales Date]),-12,MONTH)) /12
Rolling 12 = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD(Table[Date Filer],MAX(Sales[Sales Date]),-12,MONTH)) /12

OR

Rolling 12 = CALCULATE(Average(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD(Table[Date],ENDOFMONTH(Sales[Sales Date]),-12,MONTH))
Rolling 12 = CALCULATE(Average(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD(Table[Date Filer],MAX(Sales[Sales Date]),-12,MONTH))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :
