DATEADD and Sum

‎06-18-2019 10:54 AM

Hello,

 

I am trying to write a DAX formula to calculate a quantity of items I will receive at a future date.

Based on a ship date for a list of items, we want to say that 80% of them will be returned to us 30 days in the future. 

I have the date add part of the DAX: DATEADD( 'DAYSTABLE'[DAYS],30,DAY) , but I am not sure about how to calculate the 80% of the quantity shipped of the original date.

 

Does anyone have any ideas, or have done something like this previously? Thanks so much in advance!

@Riley-Byrne I believe your full measure is somethign like this

 

Future Qty = 
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table[Qty] ), 
<your date add calculation> 
) 
* .80

Multiply your measure .80 to get you 80% of qty.
