Hi, I need help calculating the average for sales per month so that every day returns the same monthly value.
In Excel it looks like this:
The measure I am using in PBI does not calculate per month, it calculates per row:
How can I create a measure in PBI for the following sample data that calculates the average per month (showing the same values for a month) if the Date field is used in the table?
Date | MonthYear | Sales |
01/01/21 | 20211 | 8263 |
01/02/21 | 20211 | 11930 |
01/04/21 | 20211 | 13123 |
02/02/21 | 20212 | 19201 |
02/07/21 | 20212 | 23661 |
02/08/21 | 20212 | 18552 |
02/09/21 | 20212 | 24552 |
03/01/21 | 20213 | 19002 |
03/13/21 | 20213 | 15662 |
03/14/21 | 20213 | 23897 |
03/15/21 | 20213 | 22375 |
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous , Try a measure like this with a date table
this Daily Avgmonth = CALCULATE(AverageX(values(Date[Date]), calculate(sum(Sales[Sales]))),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH('Date'[Date])))
use date from date table in visual
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 :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
That worked for me too - another way that gave me the same answer is:
Hi @Anonymous
Try this measure. See it all at work in the attached file.
Measure =
CALCULATE(AVERAGE(Table1[Sales]), ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[MonthYear]))
