Conditional Slicers values for different years

Hi,

 

I have a peculiar problem. Heres a simple stripped down dataset

 

The green columns are my input.

Forecast(Red) is what I want as a slicer at an yearly level so that the user can select one forecast value for 1 year.

 

I want ideas around how should i have my Forecast slicer. 

Should the forecast value come from a single column (looks difficult since it would have a different  value for different years) ?

 

 

I cant afford to have 10 forecast value slicers for each year as in the actual dataset I have 10 years of data along with 5 such parameters including forecast which means I'll need to bring 50 slicers on the table.

 

 

Based on the forecast value, The New Value(Red) is calculated as Net Profit * (Forecast/100) + Net Value (that I can handle if the above is figured out)

DateGross ProfitNet ProfitForecastNew Value
1/1/20201155%5.25
2/1/202042105%10.5
3/1/20207715%1.05
4/1/202077105%10.5
5/1/202097105%10.5
6/1/20206975%7.35
7/1/20201635%3.15
8/1/20205025%2.1
9/1/20206725%2.1
10/1/20201565%6.3
11/1/20202365%6.3
12/1/20209055%5.25
1/1/20219626%2.12
2/1/20212446%4.24
3/1/20218086%8.48
4/1/20215376%7.42
5/1/20219546%4.24
6/1/20214676%7.42
7/1/20219446%4.24
8/1/20216486%8.48
9/1/202175106%10.6
10/1/20218546%4.24
11/1/20219576%7.42
12/1/20216176%7.42

 

 

Finally, I want to add the New value on this matrix just below the Net Profit.

Hi @klehar ,

As far as I know, if you want the forecast value come from a single column, you have better to create multiple what-if parameters for each year such as 10 parameters for 10 years and use switch() statement to do the calculations.

About what-if parameters, please refer: Create and use what-if parameters to visualize variables in Power BI Desktop
