what if based on previous month result (forecast scenario)
Hi all
Once again, I need help.
I am trying to create at forecast for next year, based on the ending result last year.
I know how to find my January result, by using my ending result for last year (see the below measurment). But what I cannot figure out, is how to make a calculation (VAR) that says take January figures and race it with lets say 1% (I have made the “what if parameter” with % ([change_%])) and after that take the January and race that with the same % in february and so on.
So all in all I need to change the zero in the return statement ;O)
Budget_Andele =
VAR _BudgetFirstMonth =
CALCULATE (
[Forecast_Andele_Combine],
DATEADD(Dim_Kalender[date], -1, MONTH))*(1+[change_%])
Return
IF (ISBLANK(_BudgetFirstMonth),0, _BudgetFirstMonth
)
hope sombody can help
