I can't think of a way to do it???
Break down your problem using VIEWs. Create a VIEW that gets just ONE of the averages, based on a starting date. Then create a SELECT that gets data from the VIEW as though it was an actual table.

Once you get it working, you can replace the reference to the VIEWs in the SELECT statement, with the definition of the VIEWs, but I would not do that unless the result is relatively simple and easy to understand. Maintainability should be your goal.
