As others have mentioned, the output file looks a little off, so I provided 2 solutions (Yay!)....one that ties to the output file provided, and one that I believe to be calculating the averages as intended.

Thanks!

Hi, my solution included below.

I took slightly different approach for calculating averages for initial months:

Jan:   3m_avg= Jan value

Feb:   3m_avg = (Jan value + Feb value)/2

starting March, it is "regular" 3 months running average

Took a bit of a different path at it by using the generate rows, semi-Cartesian join, then a filter to 3 months or 6 months, then summarized with averages. Also, I just disagree that the second month that has two months of data for a 3 month running total should double weight the first month. That's just strange. So I didn't do it that way 🙂
