Days Forward Coverage (DFC) Measure

Hossam_Khattab — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 20:17:26 GMT

The dashboard here shows a projected inventory ( a dynamic projected inventory which is calculated for every day based on the elements above it)

Dynamic Projected Inventory = Dynamic Selected Supply - Dynamic Selected Demand

Dynamic Selected Supply = Starting Inventory + Quality Inventory + Shipment Notification + PCH Order + Planned Order + Standard Production Fixed + Standard Production Planned

Dynamic Selected Demand = Customer Order + Forecast + Forecast Distribution Demand

What I want to see is the Days Forward Coverage (DFC), it is mainly to see how many days (starting from the next day) can I supply with my currently projected inventory.
"Starting from the next day" This is because the demand of today is aready taken into the calculation of the projected inventory I currently have.

This is an example to make it clear,

So for example, Let's analyse Day 1, we have 1000 projected inventory that can cover the demand of Day 2 and Day 3 but in Day 4 the remaining projected inventory of Day 1 will be (1000-500-400=100) so it will not cover Day 4 then we take the fraction (the remaining inverntory / the demand that can't be supplied) -> (100/200=0.5)

So, the days that inventory of Day 1 can cover is 2.5 Days.

Note:

I don't want to use the average logic by taking the demand average of a period and dividing the inventory over it because it is not a real acual output of the days can be supplied.
I am working daily not weekly.

You will find the Power BI file on this google drive

I hope it is now clear enough and feel free to ask about any further clarification.

Hi Hossam_Khattab,

Try below DAX

DFC (Days Supply) =

VAR CurrentDate =

MAX('Date'[Date])

VAR InventoryAvailable =

[Dynamic Projected Inventory]

VAR FutureDays =

FILTER(

ALL('Date'[Date]),

'Date'[Date] > CurrentDate

)

VAR DemandTable =

ADDCOLUMNS(

FutureDays,

"DailyDemand", CALCULATE([Dynamic Selected Demand]),

"CumDemand",

VAR d = 'Date'[Date]

RETURN

CALCULATE(

[Dynamic Selected Demand],

FILTER(

ALL('Date'[Date]),

'Date'[Date] > CurrentDate &&

'Date'[Date] <= d

)

VAR FirstExceededDay =

MINX(

FILTER(DemandTable, [CumDemand] > InventoryAvailable),

'Date'[Date]

)

VAR FullDaysCovered =

COUNTROWS(

FILTER(

DemandTable,

[CumDemand] <= InventoryAvailable

)

VAR PrevCumDemand =

MAXX(

FILTER(

DemandTable,

'Date'[Date] < FirstExceededDay

[CumDemand]

)

VAR RemainingInventory =

InventoryAvailable - COALESCE(PrevCumDemand,0)

VAR ExceededDayDemand =

MAXX(

FILTER(

DemandTable,

'Date'[Date] = FirstExceededDay

[DailyDemand]

)

VAR FractionalDay =

DIVIDE(RemainingInventory, ExceededDayDemand, 0)

RETURN

IF(

ISBLANK(FirstExceededDay),

FullDaysCovered,

FullDaysCovered + FractionalDay

)

Hi Hossam_Khattab

I downloaded the file but I am not sure I get what you are asking.

You already have a measure, DFC, is that not working?

Best

Find the Correct logic working code below,

DFC =

VAR CurrentDate = MAX('Date'[Date])

VAR CurrentInventory = [Dynamic Projected Inventory]

RETURN

IF(

ISBLANK(CurrentInventory),

BLANK(), -- If Inventory is blank, return BLANK and stop here

-- Otherwise, proceed with the full calculation

VAR FutureDemandTable =

FILTER(

ALLSELECTED('Date'),

'Date'[Date] > CurrentDate

)

VAR CumulativeDemandTable =

GENERATE(

FutureDemandTable,

VAR RowDate = 'Date'[Date]

RETURN

ROW(

"RunningTotalDemand",

SUMX(

FILTER(FutureDemandTable, 'Date'[Date] <= RowDate),

[Dynamic Selected Demand]

"DailyDemand", [Dynamic Selected Demand]

)

VAR FullDays = COUNTROWS(FILTER(CumulativeDemandTable, [RunningTotalDemand] <= CurrentInventory))

VAR MaxFullDemand = MAXX(FILTER(CumulativeDemandTable, [RunningTotalDemand] <= CurrentInventory), [RunningTotalDemand])

VAR RemainingInventory = CurrentInventory - IF(ISBLANK(MaxFullDemand), 0, MaxFullDemand)

VAR NextDayDemand =

MINX(

FILTER(CumulativeDemandTable, [RunningTotalDemand] > CurrentInventory),

[DailyDemand]

)

VAR FractionalDay = DIVIDE(RemainingInventory, NextDayDemand, 0)

RETURN

IF(CurrentInventory <= 0, 0, (IF(ISBLANK(FullDays), 0, FullDays) + FractionalDay))

)
