Daily Forecasting based on monthly Budget
I have a monthly sales budget which i need to break down by day based on last 6 months seasonality. I need to consider weekday trend too as we have higher sales on weekend and towards month end.
Sales Table
| Date | Quantity |
| 01/02/20 | 1 |
| 01/02/20 | 1 |
| 01/03/20 | 1 |
| 01/03/20 | 1 |
| 01/04/20 | 1 |
Budget Table
| Month | Quantity |
| 01/01/20 | 100 |
| 02/01/20 | 130 |
Wonder if a calculated table can be built based on the above criteria.

It's doable, in Power Query and DAX: Refer these links:

prashanth0626 , Create a table with sales of those 6 months. Add 182 days (Weekdays will move at the correct position) to each date.
New date = [Date]+182
Assume your total target it X.
Create a new column in this table
New target = [X]* Divide([Sales],sum(Table[Sales]))

Thanks for the suggestion, but all of those actually don't serve my purpouse. I am not looking for a average split by day.
For eg, IF a month budget is 1000 i basically want to split the 1000 into day target by looking at my last 6 month sales pattern. I need two patterns to be utilized 1. As we go towards month end our sales increases so that should reflect in my forecast 2. We usually have higher sales on weekends (Thu-Sun). [Both of those looking at my last 6 month sales]
Thanks

Hi prashanth0626 ,
You may go to Analytics pane, add forecasting on the current visualization under Forecast section.
Or you may share expected output in snapshot. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.
