Calculate an average of ACT and FC

Hi all,

 

I would like to calculate a measure that dynamically calculates an average FTE value for a Mix of ACT and Forecast figures.

 

To display a Timeline of ACT and FC FTEs, I firstly created a measure (not linked to any table) called "Selection Type[Month]" that simply contains figures from 1-12.

 

When I add this as slicer, I can dynamically choose, up to which month Actuals are displayed, and from which month ongoing Forecast values.

 

Then, my FTE ACT/FC "timeline" measure is defined as follows:

FTE ACT/FC = if([Selection Type [Month]]]>=average(Date[Month]);[FTE_ACT];[FTE_FC])

 

Now, I would like to calculate a cumulativ average of this measure:

 

FTE ACT/FC Average = TOTALYTD(CALCULATE([FTE_ACT/FC] );Date[Date] ) / CALCULATE( TOTALYTD( DISTINCTCOUNT( Date[Month] );Date[Date] ) )

 

Unfortunately, it doesn't work, the calculated averages are always wrong.

 

Could you help me please?

 

I hope my request is clear, if you need additional info, please let me know

@daveinitiv , difficult to say without looking at data and error in data.

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

Hi,

 

I have created a sample file...how can I upload it? It says pbix is not supported..I cannot even upload an image of it.

 

Thanks!

The image is the output visual. You can upload a sample pbix to Onedrive for business then share and post the file link.
