Hi everyone,
I'm getting a weird error:
Here's the calculated measure that I'm using:
Rolling average 6m GC =
CALCULATE (
AVERAGEX ('Sheet,'Sheet'[Group Amount]),
DATESINPERIOD ('Sheet'[Date].[MonthNo],
LASTDATE ( 'Sheet'[Date].[MonthNo]),
-6,
MONTH))
What am I missing? Will running around and screaming help?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Olia
For the function LASTDATE, please pay attention to the following:
LASTDATE(<dates>)
The dates argument can be any of the following:
A reference to a date/time column,
A table expression that returns a single column of date/time values,
A Boolean expression that defines a single-column table of date/time values.
So try this formula instead
Rolling average 6m GC = CALCULATE ( AVERAGEX ('Sheet,'Sheet'[Group Amount]), DATESINPERIOD ('Sheet'[Date].[MonthNo], LASTDATE ( 'Sheet'[Date]), -6, MONTH))
Best Regards

Hi Maggie,
Thank you for your help! I have used your formula, but I am still doing something wrong though, and have no clue what...
Item - Amount - Rolling average - Q - Month
according to my calculations, it should be:
June = (87+101+147+200+234+133)/6 = 150.318 and not 11
July (101+147+200+234+133+72) / 6 = 147.733 and not 18
whyyyyyy?
Hi @Olia
Try these measures
Measure = SUMX ( FILTER ( ALL ( Sheet6 ), [month] >= MAX ( [month] ) - 5 && [month] <= MAX ( [month] ) ), [AMOUNT] ) Measure 2 = CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( Sheet6[month] ), FILTER ( ALL ( Sheet6 ), [month] >= MAX ( [month] ) - 5 && [month] <= MAX ( [month] ) ) ) Measure 3 = [Measure]/[Measure 2]
Best Regards

It's not working for me.
I've created a test dataset with test numbers (including 2017 data) to see how it'd work once I get my hands on 2017 data as well.
It's giving me very weird results both using the 1st proposed sollution and the 2nd.
please see for yourself, I'm sharing the test PowerBI Desktop file: https://drive.google.com/a/piazzaweb.nl/file/d/0B741KF-Q0yK6VjkxT0xrdUprNkJGcWduelJ0empTZG9mXy1N/vie...
I have included a picture from Excel with what the correct answer should be.
I have found something that works: https://javierguillen.wordpress.com/2011/09/13/calculating-moving-averages-in-powerpivot-dax/
as result for that Test table thing it gives this, and it actually works. (let's hope that it'll work for the actual file as well)
Attempt3 = if(COUNTROWS(values(Sheet1[month]))=1,
calculate(
sum(Sheet1[Amount]) / COUNTROWS(values(Sheet1[month])),
DATESBETWEEN(
Sheet1[Date],
FIRSTDATE(PARALLELPERIOD(Sheet1[Date],
-5, MONTH)),
LASTDATE(parallelperiod(Sheet1[Date],0, MONTH))
),all(Sheet1)
))
