Hi all,
I have a table with daily performance and estimate data as shown below:
| Date | Actual | Short Term Estimate | Long Term Estimate | |||
| 01/06/21 | 0.2 | 0.3 | 0.33 | |||
| 02/06/21 | 0.3 | 0.3 | 0.33 | |||
| 03/06/21 | 0.3 | 0.3 | 0.33 | |||
| 04/06/21 | 0.2 | 0.3 | 0.33 | |||
| 05/06/21 | 0.2 | 0.3 | 0.33 |
... etc.
Table1. Initial Table.
And I need display the data in below format.
| Date | Target | Actuals/Estimate | Source | |||
| Jan-21 | 10 | 8 | Actual | |||
| Feb-21 | 10 | 9 | Actual | |||
| Mar-21 | 10 | 10 | Actual | |||
| Apr-21 | 10 | 11 | Actual | |||
| May-21 | 10 | 7 | Actual | |||
| Jun-21 | 10 | 10 | Actual + Short Term Estimate | |||
| Jul-21 | 10 | 9 | Short Term Estimate | |||
| Aug-21 | 10 | 9 | Short Term Estimate | |||
| Sep-21 | 10 | 9 | Short Term Estimate | |||
| Oct-21 | 10 | 9 | Long Term Estimate | |||
| Nov-21 | 10 | 9 | Long Term Estimate | |||
| Dec-21 | 10 | 9 | Long Term Estimate |
Table2. Final Table
I also created a 'Calendar' Table with column in MMM-YY format. I have created a measure SelectedDate = SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[Date]). that is filtered by slicers on the report page.
I need to create a measure called "Actuals/Estimate" that will dynamically calculate based on these conditions:
1. If the date in table2 is <= SelectedDate then display Actuals Value.
2. For the dates between SelectedDate+1 and End Of Month date, Use Short Term Estimate
3. For 3 months after current months use Short Term Estimate
4. For the rest of the months, use Long Term Estimate.
5. When a selected date is September, use only Short term estimate for dates between SelectedDate+1 and End Of Year.
Knowing all these conditions, I have tried to create a measure, but I could not figure it out. I could not build logic that allows to compare dates between Selected date (not static, linked to date slicer) and the dates in Table 2 to define which values I can use (Actuals or Estimates).
Any advice or solution you can propose?
Thanks,
Nurbek
@Chorizo , Based on what I got, Try like
Measure =
var _max = maxx(allselected('Calendar'), 'Calendar'[Date])
return
Switch( true() ,
month(_max) = 9 , Table2[Date] > _max && Table2[Date] <= date(Year(_max),12,31) , [ Short term estimate]
Table2[Date] <= _max , [Actual Value] ,
Table2[Date] > _max && Table2[Date] <= eomonth(_max,0),[Short Term Estimate] ,
Table2[Date] > eomonth(_max,0) && Table2[Date] <= eomonth(_max,3) ,[Short Term Estimate] ,
[Long Term Estimate]
)
