I assume you have numeric date nd, and compute mean cnv across
individuals as, e.g.
. egen mcnv=mean(cnv), by nd

If you have data on every day, or you don't care if any are missing,
and you really want the prior 7 calendar days, you could start with
. bys nd: gen byte nfirst=(_n!=1)
. sort nfirst nd
. set obs `=_N+7'
. replace nd=0 if nd==.
. g byte s=0
. forval d=1/7 {
    replace scnv=max(0,scnv)+ /*
  */    max(0,mcnv[_n-`d']*inrange(nd[_n-`d'],nd-7,nd-1)) if nfirst==0
   }
. g byte ccnv=0
. forval d=1/7 {
   replace ccnv=ccnv+(mcnv[_n-`d']!=. & inrange(nd[_n-`d'],nd-7,nd-1)!=0)
   }
. g m7cnv=scnv/ccnv
. li, noo clean
            d      nd   mcnv   scnv   ccnv      m7cnv  
            .       0      .      0      0          .  
            .       0      .      0      0          .  
            .       0      .      0      0          .  
            .       0      .      0      0          .  
            .       0      .      0      0          .  
            .       0      .      0      0          .
