DAX Help focuses on how to calculate a monthly average from either daily or hourly data. The approach is based on the method of thinking which involves summarizing data using a Year Month field, followed by averaging the outcome. When stuck or in need of help, the guide provides contacts for assistance.
There is also a link provided to the POWER BI FILE hosted on aasolutions.sharepoint.com for further reference and deeper understanding.
The DAX Help guide is an essential tool for those working with monthly averages from daily or hourly data. It offers a step by step approach on how to utilize the Year Month field for summarizing data and computing averages. The guide integrates timestamps for different sections such as the introduction, explanation of the DAX formula and its usage, the Months Since Today column, and demonstration of VALUES function. Not forgetting an alternative using the SUMMARIZECOLUMNS function. An additional link to a POWER BI FILE is inclusive for comprehensive understanding.

DAX is a powerful tool for summarizing data and here we will look at how to calculate a monthly average from daily or hourly data. To do this, we will need to create a Year Month field and then use the DAX formula to average the result. We will also demonstrate how to use the Months Since Today column and see how the VALUES and the formula work.
The data and the scenario will be explained, and then the DAX formula will be shown with a Ctrl Shift L trick. We will then move on to using the Months Since Today column and demonstrate what VALUES and the formula does. As an alternative, we will look at SUMMARIZECOLUMNS and how to link it to a Power BI file. A link to the Power BI file can be found at aasolutions.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/Public...
