Good morning Thunders,
We need more details for the Quota, is it always 2500 ? or it's change by month ?

Why you choose r
You can for exemple use something like that :
__Mesure =
Var Total = CALCULATE(SUM(Quota), ALL(Dates) // it will calculate all total of the quota
Var Aggre = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales), Dates[Month] >= EOMONTH(MAX('Dates'[Month]), -3) //Calculate the sum of every 3 last months

RETURN DIVIDE(Aggre, Total)

Hi MrBrownn,

The 2500 is the monthly qouta, does not change.

Hi, I think I can help with this, but I need to ask a few questions to clarify, because the solution will be different depending how you answer.

1. Do you use a date table?

2. If you do, is it financial year based, starting on April?

3. Do you have data only for these 12 months?

4. Will there be more data coming in, for different years?

Also, MrBrownn, correct me if I'm mistaken, but the question is asking for a running total divided by the total budget. So it won't be the last 3 months every time, but all the previous ones.

1. Do you use a date table? Yes

2. If you do, is it financial year based, starting on April? Yes

3. Do you have data only for these 12 months? Yes

4. Will there be more data coming in, for different years? It will be a 100% new project.

Thank you

Hi Thunders ,

I created a sample pbix file(see the attachment), please check if that is what you want.

1. Add one index column in Power Query Editor

2. Create a measure as below to get the percentage

Aggregated Att% = VAR _culpart = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Sales] ), FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Index] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Index] ) ) ) VAR _allquota = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Quota] ), ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ) ) RETURN DIVIDE ( _culpart, _allquota )

Best Regards

Hi Thunders, I think Anonymous gave the perfect solution. The alternate way is to set your date as financial date with April being the 1st month. Here is how to do that.

create a date table--

create month no

create month

and then sort your month by month no

Establish the relationship between this newly form date table and your table then, you can have this below measure

var _sales =

CALCULATE(

SUM('Table'[sales]),

FILTER(

ALLSELECTED('date'),

'date'[month no] <= MAX('date'[month no])

)

var _quota =

CALCULATE(

SUM('Table'[quota]),

ALLSELECTED('Table')

)

return DIVIDE(_sales,_quota)

which will give you the output

Thank you.
