Moving monthly average by Item

Hi all,

I have a table with the list of items and sales by month. How do I calculated monthly rolling average (3 month) by Item? I am trying to create a calcultated column. The example of data is show below

I found a few threads suggesting using AVERAGEX and DATESINPERIOD using calendar table. This does work but doesn't give me data by Part ID.

Hi @Anonymous 

My sample table:

I build a Month table and related two tables by month columns.

Calculated column:

MonthNo = RELATED('Month'[MonthNo])
Moving Month Average (3M) =
AVERAGEX (
    FILTER (
        'Table',
        'Table'[MonthNo] <= EARLIER ( 'Table'[MonthNo] )
            && 'Table'[MonthNo]
                >= EARLIER ( 'Table'[MonthNo] ) - 2
            && 'Table'[Part ID] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Part ID] )
    ),
    'Table'[Sales]
)

Result is as below.

Hi Amit

 

It does work for a measure but not for a calculated column

@Anonymous , Try like this example with date table

 

Rolling 3 = divide( CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],MAX('Date'[Date]),-3,MONTH)) ,
CALCULATE(distinctCOUNT('Date'[Month Year]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date],MAX('Date'[Date]),-3,MONTH), not(isblank((Sales[Sales])))))

 

or

CALCULATE(Average(Sales[Sales]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],MAX('Date'[Date]),-12,MONTH))
