Add TARGET column to KPI matrix

Hi everyone.

I am creating a matrix that shows the performance of the company, month by month, using some indicators/KPIs.
In the columns there are the month and year (from January of this year to the current month), while in the rows there are the various indicators (total sales, active customers per month, ...). The format of the columns is "YYYY-MM":

and this is the underlying data structure:

I would like to understand how to add a 'target' column, with a single value for each indicator, containing the target value for each measure:

Here is the pbix file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ipcv3ojxveqojat/Matrix%20with%20target%20values.pbix?dl=0

 

Can anyone help me? many thanks in advance.

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!

Thank you, but the structure of my matrix is different and I cannot adapt that solution to my case.

In my matrix, columns represent "Month-year", while KPIs are in the Values field. The Rows field is empty...

@mtrevisiol ,

seems like you are looking for a Hybrid display with Matrix Column and measure

Thanks @amitchandak  for your help, but unfortunately even following this tutorial I cannot achieve the desired result, because the structure of my matrix is different.

 

If it were possible to associate the target value, for each indicator, with a 'fictitious' date preceding all others (e.g. 2022-00), perhaps I would find the solution.

 

The problem is that I do not know how to relate measure - target value - yearmonth to show a different target value in each row
