Conditional Cumulative Sum of the Actual and Forecast Data

Hello Guys,

 

I am looking for cumulative sum of the where I need to add Forecast values when Actuals ate not there and take cumulative of that measure.

 

Here is the sample data:

YearMonthGeneration Actual MTDGeneration Forecast MTD_GraphGeneration Actual MTD_GrpahCumulative_Actual YTD
2022January4,47,9869,89,6384,47,9864,47,986

2022December09,85,4199,85,4191,40,77,506

 

Measures used in above table:

Generation Actual MTD_Grpah =

IF([Generation Actual MTD]<>0[Generation Actual MTD],
[Generation Forecast MTD_Graph])
 
Expected result is in the "Cumulative_Actual YTD" column - this is where I need help to create measure. Please note that I need measure only not a calculated column. I need to take cumulative of the column where we have taken Forrecast whenever Actuals are not available.
 
Thanks,
Ram

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please try the following measure:

 

Cumulative_Actual YTD = 
SUMX (
    FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Dates ), Dates[Date] <= MAX ( Dates[Date] ) ),
    [Generation Actual MTD_Grpah]
)

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

@Anonymous , assume you have measures like

 

M1= Sum(Table1[Actual])

M2= Sum(Table2[Forecast])

 

then create measure like
calculate( sumx(values('Date'[Month Year]), if( isblank([M1]), [M2], [M1])), datesytd('Date'[date]))
