Hello People I need to calculate a rolling average and I don't know how to do it. Let me explain myself better I have data that look like this

COMPANY ANALYST DATE FORECAST
A 1 2009/11/01 1
A 2 2009/11/02 2
A 3 2009/11/03 1
A 4 2009/11/05 3
B 1 2009/11/02 10
B 2 2009/11/01 11
B 3 2009/11/03 10
B 4 2009/11/04 9


Now I want to calculate the average for for each analyst just taking into account the forecast made by any analyst up to that date for each company, something that looks like

COMPANY ANALYST DATE AVG_FORECAST
A 1 2009/11/01 1
A 2 2009/11/02 1.5
A 3 2009/11/03 1.33
A 4 2009/11/05 1.75
B 2 2009/11/01 11
B 1 2009/11/02 10.5
B 3 2009/11/03 10.33
B 4 2009/11/04 10


I tried to do it using Temporal table but I didn't managed.

Thanks,

[code]
select t.*, a.AVG_FORECAST
from table1 t
cross apply
(
select avg(FORECAST) as AVG_FORECAST
from table1 x
where x.COMPANY = t.COMPANY
and x.ANALYST_DATE <= t.ANALYST_DATE
) a
[/code]
