Recursive Calculation and Forecast measure
- 3 years ago
Hi murillocosta
Such fully recursive problems cannot be handled by DAX straight forward. A helper table that suits your case shall be needed to handle the recursion. The solution is a bet difficult to understand and it should be carefully design to suit each case independently (cannot be generalized) nevertheless, what ever the chosen details of the solution, the general idea remains the same.You need to import the Fibonacci table as is and use the DAX as is. However, your real data might not be as I expected, therefore some changes might be required.
Please note that such reports should have limited flexibility in terms of the columns used to slice. Slicing by different column(s) might require changing the code. You need to understand that this is a limitation of the DAX language for the time being, hopping future updates will curry new features of the language such as loops that can help performing recursive calculations much more easier.
Also Please note that there is a rounding error with this method and the results shall not be 100% accurate.
Please refer to the sample file with the solutionForecast Count = VAR W = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Year Week Sort] ), REMOVEFILTERS ( ) ) -- with real data would be VAR LastDateWithData 'Table'[Date] and then VAR W = YEAR ( LastDateWithData ) * 100 + WEEKNUM ( LastDateWithData ) VAR CW = MAX ( 'Date'[Year Week Sort] ) VAR S4 = CALCULATE ( [CounRef], 'Date'[Year Week Sort] = W, ALLSELECTED ( ) ) VAR S3 = CALCULATE ( [CounRef], 'Date'[Year Week Sort] = W - 1, ALLSELECTED ( ) ) VAR S2 = CALCULATE ( [CounRef], 'Date'[Year Week Sort] = W - 2, ALLSELECTED ( ) ) VAR S1 = CALCULATE ( [CounRef], 'Date'[Year Week Sort] = W - 3, ALLSELECTED ( ) ) VAR SelectedWeeks = ALLSELECTED ( 'Date'[Year Week Sort] ) VAR WeeksOnAndBefore = FILTER ( SelectedWeeks, 'Date'[Year Week Sort] > W && 'Date'[Year Week Sort] <= CW ) VAR Ranking = COUNTROWS ( WeeksOnAndBefore ) RETURN SUMX ( FILTER ( FibonacciTable, FibonacciTable[Index] = Ranking ), FibonacciTable[Value1] * S1 + FibonacciTable[Value2] * S2 + FibonacciTable[Value3] * S3 + FibonacciTable[Value3] * S4 ) - 3 years ago

Forecast Count =
VAR W = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Year Week Sort] ), REMOVEFILTERS ( ) )
-- with real data would be VAR LastDateWithData 'Table'[Date] and then VAR W = YEAR ( LastDateWithData ) * 100 + WEEKNUM ( LastDateWithData )
VAR CW = MAX ( 'Date'[Year Week Sort] )
VAR S4 = CALCULATE ( [CounRef], 'Date'[Year Week Sort] = W, ALLSELECTED ( ) )
VAR S3 = CALCULATE ( [CounRef], 'Date'[Year Week Sort] = W - 1, ALLSELECTED ( ) )
VAR S2 = CALCULATE ( [CounRef], 'Date'[Year Week Sort] = W - 2, ALLSELECTED ( ) )
VAR S1 = CALCULATE ( [CounRef], 'Date'[Year Week Sort] = W - 3, ALLSELECTED ( ) )
VAR SelectedWeeks = ALLSELECTED ( 'Date'[Year Week Sort] )
VAR WeeksOnAndBefore = FILTER ( SelectedWeeks, 'Date'[Year Week Sort] > W && 'Date'[Year Week Sort] <= CW )
VAR Ranking = COUNTROWS ( WeeksOnAndBefore )
RETURN
SUMX (
FILTER ( FibonacciTable, FibonacciTable[Index] = Ranking ),
FibonacciTable[Value1] * S1 + FibonacciTable[Value2] * S2 + FibonacciTable[Value3] * S3 + FibonacciTable[Value3] * S4
)

Thanks for that tamerk1. I will try to adapt to my case.

Hello sir,
I have a similar problem, but i need to use the moving average for the last 6 data points. Can you please tell me how did you created this fibonacci table and how can i generate it for Value5 & Value6
