Dynamic Forecast Year

Hi guys,

 

I have a Stacked Column Chart with Spend vs Fiscal Year data. The Total Amount columns are broken down into Category values.

How do I make it so that only the 5 Fiscal Year by Amount are shown in graph?, and so for next year 2019 will display 2019-2024

I wrote this function, Column

YearRank= RANKX(FILTER(Table1,Table1[ColumnYear] = EARLIER(Table1[ColumnYear])),Table1[Amount],,DESC,Dense)

Then I create a another column

Column = IF(Table1[YearRank] <= 5, [ColumnYear],"Wrong Date")

but I'm getting an error

Expressions that yield variant data-type cannot be used to define calculated columns.


I appreciate any help! Thank you!

Hi @Stuznet,

 

One sample for your reference.

 

1. Create a calculated table.

 

Table = GENERATESERIES(1899,2100,1)

2. Create a measure as below.

 

Measure = var y = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Year])
return 
IF(MAX(Table1[year])>=y && MAX(Table1[year])<=y+5,1,0)

3. Create the Stacked Column Chart and add the measure to tooltip and make the visual filterd by the measure.

Hi @Stuznet,

 

Did you select any value in the slicer?
