Hi,
I am trying to make a prediction using data from the past few weeks. The formula boils down to the following:
prediction = [work stock per day] - ([past 7 days average time required] * [planned capacity])
Vooraad_prognose_v2 = (CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Data t b v dashboard (2)'[Werkvoorraad per dag in stuks] ),
LASTDATE('Data t b v dashboard (2)'[Datum])
)
- (
CALCULATE (
AVERAGE ( 'Data t b v dashboard (2)'[Stuktijd in uur] ),
DATESBETWEEN ( 'Data t b v dashboard (2)'[Datum], TODAY () - 7, TODAY () )
)
* CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Data t b v dashboard (2)'[Geplande capaciteit beoordelen in uren] ),
LASTDATE('Data t b v dashboard (2)'[Datum])
)))
Prediction looks great on historical data (dark blue line) :
However I want, ofcourse, to predict the following days. So it has to predict tomorrow, and according to that value the day after tommorrow, etc, etc. So ultimately I can see when the work stock reaches 0. What do I have to do, to make this actually predictive?
I am aware of the build-in prediction function, but the end goal is to dynamically edit some of the input values with different parameters.
Thanks in advance!
