Measure switch between actuals and forecast for selected period and beyond

Hello everyone,

 

Can you please support me in creating the following measures.

 

I want to make a matrix showing the 12 Fiscal Periods of the selected Fiscal Year, and have an additional column for YTD. I want to let the user select the Fiscal Year and the Period via 2 separate slicers.

 

Example

I made a very simple pbix : Measure swith between Actuals and Forecast.pbix

  • In my example, the fiscal year starts on the 1st of October and ends the 30th of September.
  • The actuals sales per month = 100 and the forecasted sales per month = 150.
  • If the user selects Fiscal Year = 2022 and Fiscal Period = P05 Feb, I would like to show the actuals from P01 Oct to P05 Feb, and the forecasted sales from P06 Mar onwards.
  • In addition I would like to add a YTD Actuals calculated accordingly

I have tried many different ways, without success, I would be grateful if you could help on this one.

 

Kind Regards,
