Hi @bbsin ,

 

Please try following the steps.

1# Unpivot the yearmonth columns.

2# Create Year, Quarter and Month Columns.

3# Create measures like below:

Qtr =
DIVIDE (
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( [value] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'table', [category], [subcategory], [Year], [Quarter] )
    ),
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( [total] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'table', [category], [subcategory], [Year] )
    )
)

Monthly =
DIVIDE (
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( [value] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'table', [category], [subcategory], [Year], [Month] )
    ),
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( [total] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'table', [category], [subcategory], [Year] )
    )
)

Yearly = 
DIVIDE (
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( [value] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'table', [category], [subcategory], [Year] )
    ),
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( [total] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'table', [category], [subcategory] )
    )
)

@bbsin , You have to unpivot the months. remove the total months.

Create date using month

Date = datevalue("01 "& [Month] )

 

Join sales and budget table with common date table and analyze
