Add an instance on refresh data

Hi,

 

I wanted to make a dashboard where i am updating today's data as below

 

Sales as on Today (22-Apr-2021)
ProductSales
Television250
Mobile475

and I wanted to make a chart of Last five days as data mentioned below

 

Sales of last five working days
DateTelevision SalesMobile Sales
21-Apr220500
20-Apr150425
19-Apr270390
18-Apr320450
17-Apr190360

I wanted to automate, When i refresh the first chart, Value of First chart/Table should add in table of Second chart for next day.

There are chance that data has not updated correctly..So I need to verify the same once its ok..it should push to second table.

Is there any possibility that i can export it to excel.Because if i refresh first chart two/three time it will add instance in second table. So i can modify that table..I mean interactive excel?

Your requirement cannot be achieved with Power BI, refresh in Power Bi is just refresh the dataset and update to the newest data for source. The expected automation is not supported and unlikely to be included in the future updates.

@Anonymous , for last 5 days you can have measure like this

 

New measure =
var _max = today() // maxx(allselected('Date', 'Date'[date])
var _min = _max -5
return
calculate(sum(Table[Sales]), filter(all('Date'), 'Date'[date] >=Min && 'Date'[date] <=_max && Date[Date] <=max(Date[Date])))

 

 

date on axis, product on legend as per need
