Help with DAX formula in forecasting manpower

[daciga]

Hello people, I have this problem. I have a table with the following:

• Sales
• Staff (manpower)
• Date
• Item Sold

Can anyone please help me with the DAX formula on how many staffs do I need to add in my organization next month or next year if I add more sales or items being bought by my customers from my store?

Many thanks and more power to all of you guys.
