Multiplying Measures by Varied Month Number

Sol_idSnake — Thu, 27 Jul 2023 14:26:52 GMT

I am trying to create a measure to display the following equation: (Annual Target / Months) * (Current Month Number). I have created the following equation and understand that it works correctly, up until the IF function. I have highlighted this in bold. I do not understand my mistake.

Live Target = (([TARGET 2024]) / MAX( MonthNumber[Month Number])) * (MONTH(Today())
(MONTH(Today()) IF(_month > 3, _month-3, _month+9)))

Key here is that I am trying to vary the current month number so that April is regarded as the 1st month of the year.

I would do something like

LiveTarget =
var curMonth = if(month(today())>3, month(today())-3, month(today())+9)
var result = ([TARGET 2024]) / MAX( MonthNumber[Month Number]) * curMonth
return result

If this post was helpful, please kudos or accept the answer as a solution.
