Moving average calculate on the last year

[Anonymous]

Hi Community,

I'm a french beginner user of PowerBI, and I need your help for moving average tools. In fact I already tried to calculate moving average of total cumulate meters on last 3 years without including actual year (2019) of my project but that always include actual years (so 2017, 2018 and 2019).

Moving average is an interesting tools for my project to obtain an objective compared to our activity of last 3 years.

Could you help me to calculate a moving average of total cumulate meters of construction project on last 3 years, so for 2019, years 2016, 2017 and 2018. After I think I could calculate moving average on past 10 years.

Thanks for your help

Hi @Anonymous 

You can use DAX expression below.

Measure = 
CALCULATE(
    [Sales], 
    DATESINPERIOD( 
        'Calendar'[Date], 
        MIN('Calendar'[Date]) -1, 
        -3, 
        YEAR
    )
)
