Hi everyone,
I am looking for help to get forecast accuracy from the raw data below and I need it to be dynamic/easy to refresh when new data comes in every month.
Here are some points to note:
- Forecast accuracy = 1 - (sum of ABS error / sum of sales)
- Bias = (sum of forecast / sum of sales) - 1
- New data will be added in the following month (i.e. July 2023 submission which consist of forecast for month of July onwards to Dec 2023 for the same SKU)
- I want to look at different period of forecast accuracy:
Lag 1 = June vs May
Lag 2 = June vs April
Lag 3 = June vs March
Hence, when July 2023 submission comes in, I need the forecast accuracy to be automatically changed to:
Lag 1 = July vs June
Lag 2 = July vs May
Lag 3= July vs April
- In the dashboard, I do want to see forecast accuracy & bias by SKU, by country and all other categories the SKU have (which is not present in this simplified table)
Should I do the calculations with DAX in measures or Powerquery? And how should I go about doing it. I am not sure where to begin.
Note: this is incomplete data. There is more than 1 SKU but the same logic applies.
Please provide sample data (with sensitive information removed) that covers your issue or question completely, in a usable format (not as a screenshot).

Hi, here are the sample data and the goal of the dashboard - to get forecast accuracy (and eventually bias)
