Define Target Values based on Date

Hi,

 

We have a report wherein Target vs Actual values are shown.

 

The targets are revised over time.

 

Is there any way to link the targets to Date as follows-

Start date to Change date 1 = Target 1

Change date 1 to Change date 2 = Target 2

Change date 2 to Date today = Target 3

Hello,

 

I need your help to set the targets for the upcoming months (Oct 2022- SEPT 2023) BASED on the historical data,  I have the historical data from 2019 to 2022, so we go like Oct 2020-Sept 2021, Oct 2021-Sept 2022, Oct 2022-Sept 2023(I want to set the targets for these months) for 80 different programs or categories.

 

Is There any formula or any Dax function available.

 

I will highly appreciate the response.

 

Thank you

Hi @sayali_deshmukh ,

 

i'm not sure what you mean.

Maybe if you just save the changes and create a running total over them?

 

You may download my PBIX file from here.
Hope this helps.

Hi @mwegener 

We want to maintain Target history as per table below so that when a particular date is selected the targets will be updated accordingly in visuals.

Hi @sayali_deshmukh ,

 

I don't understand her current question.

Do you use a date table that can be used to filter the target and actual table together?

 

For the target value, I would use the described running total measure, since it provides a plausible value at the various aggregation levels (day, month, year, etc.).
