    MovingSum() shoud help here as long as you are using Native Time.

    i am using custom time scale

    You should consider using a real timescale, will help a lot if you need to do such time based calculations. However,  you could create a mapping module, to map your custom time to real time, lookup the data on a real timescale so you can use Time based formulas.
    Or a simple and performant way to get this value would be to create a 6 month subset in your custom time list and reference the Actuals with an Average summary option set for the line item (assuming you have a top level).

    Hi @kavitha12345 ,

     

    I have created a module Test Time where the actuals data of the past three years is stored. I have created another module Test Time - Copy where I have created a line item to derive the last 6 month from the current month and then using lookup the values from Test Time module have been fetched into Test Time Copy. I have used Custom Time Ranges in both the modules. A similar approach will be of help to you.

    An alternative is to map your custom time to real time. Then map your data out of custom time into a module dimensioned by real time. Use this to calculate your MOVINGSUM() then map it back to custom time use the same mapping. 

    The actual real timescale is not important but it is vital that you map into real time and back out to custom time using the same logic. 

    The use of real time is simply to use all available time functions. 

    However, if you can avoid using custom time altogether then I would also recommend that you do so.

    Hi @kavitha12345 ,

     

    You have to use the Model Calendar, as everyone says.

     

    I think you can do this, but it will be complex and ****.

    CAUTION! So do not take the below seriously.
