DAX calculation with incremental value

Hello, 
I am trying to calculate the "Forecast Value" based on the "Color" below. 
What would be the DAX formula for this?

I doubt you can do the logic and cumulative sum in one dax. You can create a logic column then get the forecast value in a measure.

 

forecastlogic column=
var logic = SWITCH([Color],"Red",1,"Green",2,"Blue",3)
Return IF([Initial Value]=100,100,logic)
 
Forcast value = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[forecastlogic]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),[YearMonth]<=MAX([YearMonth])))

A calculated column is definitely recommended here but you can do without if you need to (e.g. if the color values are dynamic).

Forcast (AO) =
VAR MaxDate = MAX ( Table1[YearMonth] )
VAR ColorScores =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        SUMMARIZE (
            FILTER ( ALL ( Table1 ), Table1[YearMonth] <= MaxDate ),
            Table1[YearMonth],
            Table1[Color]
        ),
        "@Init", CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[Initial Value] ) ),
        "@Incr", SWITCH ( Table1[Color], "Red", 1, "Green", 2, "Blue", 3 )
    )
RETURN
    SUMX ( ColorScores, MAX ( [@Init], [@Incr] ) )

If you have one color per month, then you can calculate the final forecasted value over a selected period like this:

Forcast =
VAR ColorScores =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        SUMMARIZE ( Table1, Table1[Month], Table1[Color] ),
        "@Incr", SWITCH ( Table1[Color], "Red", 1, "Blue", 2, "Green", 3 )
    )
RETURN
    [InitialValue] + SUMX ( ColorScores, [@Incr] )

 

I don't think the above code works... 
Am I missing something?

The forecast total works as I intended. You have to do a bit more work to get the months to work like a cumulative total.

 

Something more like this:

Forcast =
VAR MaxDate = MAX ( Table1[Date] )
VAR InitialValue = CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[InitialValue] ), Table1[Date] <= MaxDate )
VAR ColorScores =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        SUMMARIZE (
            FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Date] <= MaxDate ),
            Table1[Month],
            Table1[Color]
        ),
        "@Incr", SWITCH ( Table1[Color], "Red", 1, "Blue", 2, "Green", 3 )
    )
RETURN
    InitialValue + SUMX ( ColorScores, [@Incr] )

I am getting the same result

Probably because you have Year and Month context in your visual rather than just Date.

 

You can wipe out all of the filter context with ALL.

Forcast =
VAR MaxDate =  MAX ( Table1[Date] )
VAR InitialValue =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Table1[InitialValue] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( Table1 ), Table1[Date] <= MaxDate )
    )
VAR ColorScores =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        SUMMARIZE (
            FILTER ( ALL ( Table1 ), Table1[Date] <= MaxDate ),
            Table1[Month],
            Table1[Color]
        ),
        "@Incr", SWITCH ( Table1[Color], "Red", 1, "Blue", 2, "Green", 3 )
    )
RETURN
    InitialValue + SUMX ( ColorScores, [@Incr] )
