Dynamic Week on Week Target

hi All

 

I am looking to create a dynamic Week on Week Target which should be based on Actuals

 

so there is Target set for each week as you can see below, if lets say in the Week 2, we over achieve the Target  which in the below case 6,483.88, this Variance should be equally needs to be passed on to the remaining weeks, this way every week, Target should dynamically change based on what actuals we have , if the Target is not met, then subsequent weeks target should increase and decrease vice versa

 

i tried creating something using Chat GPT but it doesn't give me the right output

 

Adjusted Target =

VAR CurrentWeek = MAX('YTD Timesheet'[Week])

VAR CurrentWeekTarget = [Tar WTD]

VAR PreviousWeekVariance = CALCULATE([Variance], FILTER(ALL('YTD Timesheet'), 'YTD Timesheet'[Week] = CurrentWeek - 1))

VAR RemainingTarget = CurrentWeekTarget -[YTD Charged Hours]

VAR RemainingWeeks = 52-MAX('Calendar'[#Week])

VAR ProratedVariance = IF(RemainingWeeks > 0, PreviousWeekVariance / RemainingWeeks, 0)

VAR IsTargetOverAchieved = IF([YTD Charged Hours] > CurrentWeekTarget, 1, 0)

VAR AdjustedTarget =

    IF(

        IsTargetOverAchieved,

        IF(

            RemainingWeeks > 0,

            CurrentWeekTarget - ProratedVariance,

            CurrentWeekTarget

        ),

        IF(

            RemainingWeeks > 0,

            CurrentWeekTarget + ProratedVariance,

            CurrentWeekTarget

        )

    )

RETURN

    RemainingTarget

Hi @vjnvinod ,

@Greg_Deckler Thanks for your concern about this case!

@vjnvinod As you said: "if the Target is not met, then subsequent weeks target should increase and decrease vice versa", so the plus and minus signs here in DAX should be reversed:

And here, what is the table Calendar?

Other than that, there's nothing else wrong with this DAX, and I've tested it, and here's what I got:
