I have a question about budgeting issue, I need your help. Thanks for your support in advance!
I have three columns, Start Date, End Data and Amount of the budget.
I have to distribute the amount to years based on the contract duration (months and year(s)). For example, I have a contract start 1/8/2019, end 1/1/2023, amount is 302500, so I need to divide the amount to three years and five months. So the budget of 2019 well be 36890, and each years the budget amount is 88537.
A sample data in the follwoing file (URL).

Is this possible in Power BI?
Thanks for your support in advance!
Best Regards

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @aboshabo ,
You can try to use following measure formula to calculate each year budget based on current ContractN, year.
Measure =
VAR maxdate =
MAX ( 'Table'[Date] )
VAR summary =
SUMMARIZE (
ContractReportExcel,
[ContractN],
[Amount],
[Contract Start Date],
[Contract End Date],
"duration", DATEDIFF ( [Contract Start Date], [Contract End Date], MONTH )
)
VAR unit =
SUMX (
FILTER (
summary,
maxdate IN CALENDAR ( [Contract Start Date], [Contract End Date] )
&& [ContractN] IN VALUES ( ContractReportExcel[ContractN] )
),
[Amount] / [duration]
)
VAR _calendar =
ADDCOLUMNS (
CALENDAR (
CALCULATE (
MIN ( ContractReportExcel[Contract Start Date] ),
ALLSELECTED ( ContractReportExcel ),
VALUES ( ContractReportExcel[ContractN] )
),
CALCULATE (
MAX ( ContractReportExcel[Contract End Date] ),
ALLSELECTED ( ContractReportExcel ),
VALUES ( ContractReportExcel[ContractN] )
)
),
"Month", MONTH ( [Date] )
)
VAR _duration =
COUNTROWS (
DISTINCT (
SELECTCOLUMNS (
FILTER ( _calendar, YEAR ( [Date] ) = YEAR ( maxdate ) ),
"M", [Month]
)
)
)
RETURN
unit * _duration
Notice: Table is a calendar I created for calculate, it no has relationship to original table.
I also attached sample file below.
