combining actual and budget data based on date filter

Hi, 

 

I am trying to create a forecast but want it to be dynamic, i.e. if i select a date range then it should calculate the actuals upto the max selected date and then add budget values for the remaning periods. 

The fiscal year i am working with goes from Aug to July so i have data for August 2022 to July 2023.  

 

I have a date table as well but i cant figure out how to have the dax know when to start and when to end. 

 

for e.g if i have date filter on for 08/01/2022 - 04/30/23, then the dax should calculate forecast by combining actuals from 08/01/2022 - 04/30/2023 with budget data for 05/01/23 - 07/31/2023

 

I tried using the following formula but it works only when my fiscal period is calander year based ie January to December. 

i have a measure that sums all budget data [TotalBudIncome] and another measure that sums all actual income data [TotalActIncome]

to clarify, the above formula was using a paremeter value that can only go from 1 - 12 as i could only generate a seried for 1 to 12. also the data i have ranges from Feb 2021 to Dec 2023

 

ResiIncomeRFX =

IF(
MONTH(SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Date])) <= Parameter[Parameter Value],
SUMX(
FILTER(
'Date',
MONTH('Date'[Date]) <= Parameter[Parameter Value]
),
[TotalActIncome]
),
SUMX(
FILTER(
'Date',
MONTH('Date'[Date]) > Parameter[Parameter Value]
),
[TotalBudIncome]
)
)
+
IF(
MONTH(SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Date])) <= Parameter[Parameter Value],
SUMX(
FILTER(
'Date',
MONTH('Date'[Date]) > Parameter[Parameter Value]
),
[TotalBudIncome]
),
SUMX(
FILTER(
'Date',
MONTH('Date'[Date]) <= Parameter[Parameter Value])
,[TotalActIncome]
)
)

The below show forecast for given account based on a cutoff date of 04/30/2023. The dax right now calculates actuals upto April 2023 then adds FOrecast figures for May - July to provide an annual forecast number. 

 

RIght now i have hard coded the dates but i wan the dax to be able to calculate based on the cutoff date the user selects.

This sample data is not usable. Please provide sanitized sample data that fully covers your issue.

 i supplied the table that has the data thats required for the dax calculation. I cannot provide a pbx file as it has sensitive data. The above data is as per the link you attached. 

if you cannot provide usable sample data then we have a hard time helping. 

ok, you dont have to maybe someone else will. Thanks
