Projection based on numeric parameters
Hi Thigs ,
To get more accurate projections, I’d suggest using a dynamic DAX calculation that responds to your input parameter. You can use something like SWITCH() or IF() in your measure to handle different values of the parameter.
For example:
Projected Value =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
[Parameter] = 1, [Value] * 1.1,
[Parameter] = 2, [Value] * 1.2,
[Parameter] = 3, [Value] * 1.3,
[Value]
)
This way, the projections will automatically adjust depending on the input selected. It’s a flexible method and easy to maintain if you plan to add more conditions later. Also, just a quick tip if you're working with a large dataset, try to avoid using calculated columns unless necessary. Measures are generally more performance-friendly in such cases.
Please feel free to come back if you have any queries.
Thank you.
No data is appearing within the graph. I am using a line chart, using Years as my X-axis (not "Go Live" year, but a year table that has one column, Years, from 2025 - 2100). I then pull the measure into the Y axis and nothing occurs.
I need to see columns grouped in rows amd columns section of the visual, the selection on slicers, need to see the data model
Without contexts and Data model I cannot understand the issue
The visual, on the left, is blankThis is the "Years" data, created by numeric parameterThis is the Growing the Cost formula
I've attached three images. The top is my visual, you can see that it is blank. The Total Year 1 Costs formula IS giving a result (it's in the box), and when I return any variable, that is giving me a correct result, so it is an issue with the SWITCH statement at the end.
There isn't really any raw data within this file - it is all based on numeric parameters and formulas.
