MOVINGSUM([Profit], CURRENT_PERIOD, SHIFT(CURRENT_PERIOD, "2M"))

We've used MOVINGSUM to calculate the rolling sum of the profit measure for each month and 2 months after that month. For example, the MOVINGSUM for January would be the sum of the profits for January, February, and March.

You can also use MOVINGSUM with forecasts to aggregate your measures over open and closed periods. In this example, we've aggregated the forecast measure for the open periods.
