Recursive Dax Calculation

Dear Dax Gurus,

 

Would appreciate some help - I'm looking to create a calculated column forecast which at index 0 simply takes the (Activity + (Activity * Activity Change %)), but for all other indexes takes the previous row calculated forecast and applies the current row activity change %. 

Note the index resets at each change in (Cost Centre)"Code".

I did try Gerhard Brueckl's interesting approach for creating this entirely in DAX Link  but unfortunately I couldn't get this to work at Cost Centre Code level (works perfectly at an overall level) so have gone down the path of creating the above table instead

 

Thanks in advance

Adam

Try a new column,

 

 

Value = MAXX(filter(Data, [Index] =0 && [Code] =EARLIER(Data[Code])),[Activity])* PRODUCTX(Filter(DATA, [Code] =EARLIER(Data[Code]) && [Index]  <=EARLIER(Data[Index])), 1+[Activity Change %])
