Divide a fiscal period target by the number of fiscal weeks in the period (With Date Table)

[DataDownUnder]

Hi everyone.  I hav tried to crack this one but have hit a wall.

I have a report with a date table with date/ fiscal period/ fiscal weeks etc.  I also have a budget table where each period has a budget (P1,P2,P3 etc).

I want to be able to create a measure where the Period Budget is divided by the number of fiscal weeks in the period to give a Fiscal week budget.  I need this to act so I have have a visual table with Period/Fiscal Week/ Revenue/Budget.

I hae been able to create measures to work out the (Max fiscal week - Min fiscal week) +1 to work ou the number of weeks,  but when I filer te visual by period or fiscal week it breaks.

I have atached a sample file to show the tables and relationship.

Thank you in advance

Hi @DataDownUnder ,

According to your description, I create a sample.

dim_dates table:

dim_target table:

The two tables are related with Fiscal Period column and have a both direction.

Then create a measure.

Fiscal week budget =
VAR _Total =
    MAX ( 'dim_targets'[Target] )
VAR _MAX =
    MAXX (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( dim_dates ),
            'dim_dates'[Fiscal Period] = MAX ( 'dim_targets'[Fiscal Period] )
        ),
        'dim_dates'[Fiscal Week]
    )
VAR _MIN =
    MINX (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( dim_dates ),
            'dim_dates'[Fiscal Period] = MAX ( 'dim_targets'[Fiscal Period] )
        ),
        'dim_dates'[Fiscal Week]
    )
RETURN
    DIVIDE ( _Total, _MAX - _MIN + 1 )

Get the correct result.

The Fiscal Period and Fiscal Week slicer can only filter the rows.

I attach my sample below for your reference.

Amazing @amitchandak  thank you so much.  I was actually really close with my original solution but neglected the MINX and MAXX.

Than you so much for the help and such a detailed answer!

Thank you @amitchandak  I appreciate the help.  I can't seem to get it to generate the result though.
consistantly get the error The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value.

I am unsure where the extra column reference is?

@DataDownUnder , a new table

Var _tab=
filter(
generate(selectcolumns(Target,"FY",[FY Period], "Target", [Target]) , summarize(Date, date[FY Period],[FY Week])), [[FY Period] =[FY])
return
addcolumns(_tab , "New Target", divide([Target], countx(filter(_tab, [FY] = earlier([FY])), [FY Week])))
