Dealing with Targets
Hi Community,
First of all thanks for your time, this problem could be very easy but im struggling trying to find the answer, thanks in advance for any suggestion:
I have 2 Tables {Sales, Vendor}, each of the vendors have a target but it will depend on his category that is include in the Vendor Table (FullTime, PartTime, Supervisor) and each of those have a different Target (FullTime T1: 100, T2:200, T3:300; PartTime T1:50, T2:75,T3:125; Supervisor T1:150, T2:275, T3:425)
I want to built a target measure that calculate this after the selection of a Vendor Name on a Slicer. My question is how can I capture the value of the column Position of the Vendor Table.
Example:
Vendor1 is PartTime
Total Sales related to Vendor1 are 65 so Vendor1 surpass the T1 and on way to T2
Vendor5 is FullTime
Total Sales related to Vendor5 are 95 so Vendor5 is on way to T1
The result should be something like this:
The report will have a Slicer with the names of the Vendors, each time the user select one It should change.
I can't find a way that allow me to change between Target according to the Column [Position] in Vendor Table
Any thought will be very welcome!
To capture a value from a table you need to use :
VALUES(Employees[PosititonName])
