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])))

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] )
