Last 6 months average excluding current month

[Kratos_ZA]

Hi friends,

Happy Friday!

Kindly assist with a measure for calcuating last 6 months average sales exluding current month (May 2022). Eg average between Nov 2021 and April 2022.

Fields are: "Sales[New]" and my date table "Date[Full Date]"

Thanks very much

@Kratos_ZA , You need a measure like

Rolling 6 = calculate(AverageX(Values('Date'[MONTH Year]),CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]))),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],eomonth(MAX('Date'[Date ]),-1),-6,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 :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.

@amitchandak One more thing, If I wanted to exclude 0 sales, how will I change/update the formula?
