I'm not very original when it comes to solving this particular problem, that's for sure.

Pretty much as most others did it, tweaked from using AVERAGE() also

It took quite bit of time to understand why transposition was required. Once I got that the rest was easy. I used brute force method to rename columns and it is now as I look, I see that there is a transform for that too! More and more I work on Alteryx, I am falling in love with it. It's incredibly powerful to keep running portions of the code. 

Also what would have helped is to give more detailed example on how the 3 month average is worked out. For the first two rows, I had hard time understanding how their values have come about. I struggled a lot to work out how is it getting calculated. Some more explanation would have been good.

Upon reading the solution, I've done something very simple in probably the most complex way (facepalm).

Anyways, my solution is attached.

This one took me a while to figure out why I could not match the output results. When I finally gave up and started reading the comments I realized it was because the data was mixing up 0's and nulls and unlike my SQL tools nulls are calculated to return a null.  That is an issue with our scientific data methods because nulls do not mean 0 they mean no data was collected.  As suggested by  @jdunkerley79 I will need to look more into using Abacus tools.
