Hi,
I have a large dataset with lots of different projects with various duration and start dates.
| Item ID | Snapshot (date) | Actual DG3 (date) | PTC(forecast) | identify initial PTC after DG3(calc. column) | MTD PTC after DG3(measure) |
| 1110010154 | 01.05.2023 | 03.09.2021 | 81 141 198 | 1 | 81 141 198 |

Each project is included in dataset faily early when scope very immature and forecast is not very reliable, however as variuos projects matures they eventually reach a decision gate (DG3), which is when project execution begins. Actual projects cost is measured at based on DG3 forecast.
I have managed to write a measure that excludes the snapshots before the DG3 date where I can vizualize the changes in forecast after DG3 over time. However how do express this cumulative percentage?
Secondly I would like to have a measure that can be used on the entire project portfolio, which shows the growth(%) in forecast for the total project portfolio. I would only like to include the growth after DG3, so initial impact of the first PTC snapshot after DG3 needs to be excluded.
Most of the projects extend over several years
Are there any solution for this? Help is greatly appreciated!
The two cells at the bottom far right at the bottom should have been merged with the cells above.
As you see I have several datapoints. The probelm is to write a measure calculates the cumulative growth over time (snapshot date) for several projects where "MTD PTC after DG3" is the value. However I somehow need to exclude the initial impact of a new "MTD PTC after DG3" per project, so that only changes after the first entry of "MTD PTC after DG3" are included in the portfolio calculation.
Hope this understandable:)
No idea what you mean by cumulative growth.
Hi, I see that my table is confusing. For calculation purposes snapshot entries of project B in may and june are not relevant as this prior to the DG3 date, and which is why I made the measure "MTD PTC after DG3".
Ref your table above: I would like to see the running total of MOM % for project A and B Combined. where Project B are only included from snapshot 7/1/2023 (since this is first snapshot after the projects DG3)

Hi,
I beleieve table below fully covers sample data realted to my issue.
The expected outcome is shown in column "accumualted growht after DG3 portfolio".
Please disreagrd the "PTC forecast" column, the essential column to calculate is the "MTD PTC after DG3".
I am very sorry for my inability to explain my issue understandably. However I will try once more:
My aim is to provide a visual graph of the of how the PTC after DG 3 date develops over time, on a portfolio level ( with many projects with different DG 3 date). It is not the PTC itself (project portfolio size) I am looking for, but a way to visualize how the projects develops after they pass the DG 3 date
I hope someone else can help you further.

Calculating a growth requires at least two data points. I can't see that in your sample data.
