Creating a Dashboard for operations

kaytaylor19 — Thu, 04 Dec 2025 19:10:02 GMT

I am creating a dashboard that will show current, predicted and planned for our operations team. I am stuck with how to do the predicted (DAX). The predicted numbers are based on the avg of the last 90 days for specific day numbers. can someone help?

I need to:

1. Calculate Averages for the Last 90 Days

Filter the dataset to the previous 90 days.
For each weekday and site, calculate:
- Average Hours = (Sum of hours for that weekday over 90 days) ÷ (Number of occurrences)
- Average Units = (Sum of units for that weekday over 90 days) ÷ (Number of occurrences)
Optionally calculate UPH (Units per Hour) = Average Units ÷ Average Hours
Build Prediction Logic
- Create a calendar of future dates (e.g., for the month or year).
- For each future date:
  - Identify its weekday.
  - If actual data exists for that date (e.g., past days in the current month), use actual values.
  - If no actual data exists (future days), use the average for that weekday from Step 1.
Populate Predictions
- For each site and date:
  - Predicted Hours = Average Hours for that weekday.
  - Predicted Units = Average Units for that weekday.
- Sum these up for monthly totals or yearly totals.

kaytaylor19 Providing some sample data here would be extremely useful. Your calculation would probably look something like the following:

90 Day Average Per Site and Weekday = VAR _Date = MAX( 'Table'[Date] ) VAR _DateMinus90 = _Date - 90 VAR _Weekday = WEEKDAY( _Date ) VAR _Return = CALCULATE( AVERAGE( 'Table'[Value] ), 'Table'[Date] <= _Date, 'Table'[Date] >= _DateMinus90, WEEKDAY( 'Table'[Date] ) = _Weekday ) RETURN _Return

Hi kaytaylor19 ,

Follow below steps.

1. Create a separate Dates table

Dates =

ADDCOLUMNS (

CALENDAR ( DATE(2025,1,1), DATE(2026,12,31) ),

"Weekday", WEEKDAY ( [Date], 1 ) -- Sunday = 1 ... Saturday = 7

)

Create a relationship:

Dates[Date] → YourData[Date]

2. 90-Day Average by Weekday (Hours)

Avg Hours Last 90 Days =

VAR _Today = MAX ( Dates[Date] )

VAR _MinDate = _Today - 90

VAR _Weekday = MAX ( Dates[Weekday] )

RETURN

CALCULATE (

AVERAGE ( 'YourData'[Puerto Rico Hours] ),

'YourData'[Date] >= _MinDate,

'YourData'[Date] < _Today,

'YourData'[Day #] = _Weekday -- weekday match

)

3. 90-Day Average by Weekday (Units)

Avg Units Last 90 Days =

VAR _Today = MAX ( Dates[Date] )

VAR _MinDate = _Today - 90

VAR _Weekday = MAX ( Dates[Weekday] )

RETURN

CALCULATE (

AVERAGE ( 'YourData'[Puerto Rico Units] ),

'YourData'[Date] >= _MinDate,

'YourData'[Date] < _Today,

'YourData'[Day #] = _

Weekday

)

4. You want:

If the date exists in your actual table → use actuals

If the date has NO data (future) → use the 90-day weekday average

Predicted Hours Measure

Predicted Hours =

VAR _ActualHours =

CALCULATE (

SUM ( 'YourData'[Puerto Rico Hours] ),

REMOVEFILTERS ( Dates ) -- keep row context

)

RETURN

IF (

NOT ISBLANK ( _ActualHours ),

_ActualHours, -- actual exists

[Avg Hours Last 90 Days] -- otherwise predicted

)

Predicted Units Measure

Predicted Units =

VAR _ActualUnits =

CALCULATE (

SUM ( 'YourData'[Puerto Rico Units] ),

REMOVEFILTERS ( Dates )

)

RETURN

IF (

NOT ISBLANK ( _ActualUnits ),

_ActualUnits,

[Avg Units Last 90 Days]

)

kaytaylor19 That helps quite a bit. Here is the revised formula:

90 Day Average Per Site and Weekday = VAR _Value = MAX( 'Table'[Puerto Rico Hours] ) VAR _Date = IF( _Value = BLANK(), DATE( 2025, 12, 31 ), MAX( 'Table'[Date] ) ) VAR _DateMinus90 = _Date - 90 VAR _Weekday = WEEKDAY( MAX( 'Dates'[Date] ) ) VAR _Return = CALCULATE( AVERAGE( 'Table'[Puerto Rico Hours] ), ALL( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Date] <= _Date, 'Table'[Date] >= _DateMinus90, WEEKDAY( 'Table'[Date] ) = _Weekday ) RETURN _Return

kaytaylor19

Predicted Hours =
VAR CurrentDate = MAX('Calendar'[Date])
VAR Days90Ago = CurrentDate - 90
VAR WeekdayNum = WEEKDAY(CurrentDate, 2)
VAR AvgHours =
CALCULATE(
AVERAGEX(
FILTER(
'Operations',
'Operations'[Date] >= Days90Ago &&
'Operations'[Date] <= CurrentDate &&
WEEKDAY('Operations'[Date], 2) = WeekdayNum &&
NOT ISBLANK('Operations'[Hours])
),
'Operations'[Hours]
),
ALLEXCEPT('Operations', 'Operations'[Site])
)
RETURN
IF(CurrentDate <= MAX('Operations'[Date]),
SUM('Operations'[Hours]),
AvgHours
)

Predicted Units =
-- Same structure, replace [Hours] with [Units]

Uses actual data when available, predicts future with 90-day weekday average per site. Updates dynamically.

I have the DAX below but feel its too time consuming to do this for 27 different departments (003 is a DC). I have a table named DimDPS that has all department information. I used the yearly pred date as today not sure if that is right either but if it helps, our FY starts 10/1. I have to do this for 3 KPI's (Hours, Units and UPH which is units over Total hours). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PRHOURSS = VAR _Today = MAX ( 'USSCKPI KPIProductivity'[Date])

VAR _Last90 = _Today - 90

VAR _Avg=

AVERAGEX(FILTER(ALL(

'90 DAY AVG USSCKPI KPIProd'),'90 DAY AVG USSCKPI KPIProd'[DC]="003" && '90 DAY AVG USSCKPI KPIProd'[Date]<= _Today && '90 DAY AVG USSCKPI KPIProd'[Date]>= _Last90 && YearlyPred[WEEKDAY]='90 DAY AVG USSCKPI KPIProd'[Weekday]),'90 DAY AVG USSCKPI KPIProd'[TOTAL HOURS FOR AVG])

RETURN

IF(YearlyPred[Date] > DATE(2025,12,19), _Avg,CALCULATE(SUM('USSCKPI KPIProductivity'[Total Hours for AVG]),'USSCKPI KPIProductivity'[DC]="003",'USSCKPI KPIProductivity'[Date]=EARLIER(YearlyPred[Date])))
