I have a table like this:
| Plan | Month | Customer | Sales |
| Budget | 5 | ABC | 100 |
| Actuals | 5 | ABC | 50 |
| Forecast | 5 | ABC | 130 |
I want to create a measure that compares always against the "Actuals" of the same month and customer:
| Plan | Month | Customer | Sales | vs Actuals |
| Budget | 5 | ABC | 100 | 50 |
| Actuals | 5 | ABC | 50 | 0 |
| Forecast | 5 | ABC | 130 | 80 |
How can I achieve this?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
@zervino Try:
vs Actuals Measure =
VAR __Sales = MAX( 'Table'[Sales] )
VAR __Actuals = MAXX( FILTER( ALL( 'Table', [Plan] = "Actuals" ), [Sales] )
VAR __Result = __Sales - __Actuals
RETURN
__Result
Ooh, look, a Calculate 🙂
vs Actuals = sum('Table'[Sales])-CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Sales]),'Table'[Plan]="Actuals")
Hi @zervino,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.
Thank you @lbendlin, for you reply regarding the issue.
By creating this Dax measure you may achieve :
vs Actuals =
VAR currentMonth = SELECTEDVALUE('SalesData'[Month])
VAR currentCustomer = SELECTEDVALUE('SalesData'[Customer])
VAR actualSales =
CALCULATE(
SUM('SalesData'[Sales]),
'SalesData'[Plan] = "Actuals",
'SalesData'[Month] = currentMonth,
'SalesData'[Customer] = currentCustomer
)
RETURN
IF(SELECTEDVALUE('SalesData'[Plan]) = "Actuals", 0, SUM('SalesData'[Sales]) - actualSales)
I tested it with sample data, and it working fine. Please find the attached screenshot and Pbix for your reference.
