How to calculate value from previous year

Dear All,

YearPecentage of ReductionErrorsReduction Target
20222%1200 
20232%117624

 

I have the table show above. Values for year 2022 are given as it is the baseline value. We need to find out the forecasted errors based on the % of reduction. For example for year 2023:

 

Reduction Target = [Percentage of Reduction for Year 2023] * [Error from Year 2022]

Error for Year 2023 = [Error from Year 2022] - [Reduction Target]

 

So basically I'll need to populate the errors and reduction target columns for Year 2023 to lets say next 10 years. Can anyone help out with the dax formulas please?

@Spitfire can please share you PBIX file for better understanding.Thank You!!

Hi Mahesh, I'm unable to share my PBIX file here. I've uploaded it in wetransfer here ; https://we.tl/t-w9NJJ5NIWq

 

We basically need to calculate the forecasted number of errors for Year 2023 - 2030. Example shown below for Year 2023: 

 

Year 2023 = Number of Error [Year 2022] - Error Reduction Target [Year 2023]

 

Error Reduction Target [Year 2023] = Number of Error [Year 2022] * Percentage of Reduction [Year 2023]

For Year 2024, it'll be as below: 

 

Year 2024 = Number of Error [Year 2023] - Error Reduction Target [Year 2024]

 

Error Reduction Target [Year 2024] = Number of Error [Year 2023] * Percentage of Reduction [Year 2024]

 

This will continue for all the years until 2030

Hi @Mahesh0016 ,

 

This is the output anticipated for Year 2023 - 2030, assuming constant reduction % every year and we started with a baseline error of 1200 for year 2022.
