Calculating actual value based on dates

Hi folks!

 

I really need some ideas on how to make this Excel Spreadsheet work in PowerBI.

 

What do I have:

 

1. Table with Date and Percentage that will be used to multiply my cost

2. Table with Task Name, Total Cost, Date Actual, Actual Value, Start Date of Project, End Date of the project

The Excel that people use here to calculate is this one, for this example (one task only):

New Cost is my target. Here's the link to  Excel file .

 

I need to this calculation until the date that is filtered, for example, jan-23 and for each project task (may have like 100 tasks for project). 

 

I'm lost in how to start, any ideas will be very much appreciated.

 

Tks!

Hi @danielsjdr1 

 

Here is an article on Compound Growth using DAX.  It includes a simple example with a fixed growth rate and another example using a variable growth rate like your requirements.

Let me know if this helps.
