Dynamic measure, based on period?

[kevpuk]

Hi All

So, I have been struggling with how to resolve a problem.

I have a set of data, made up of individual measures on rows, with period in columns (2015-2019)......what I am trying to do is make the value in the 2019 column be a projected/annualised value, rather than the actual 2019 value. This is because some of the data in 2019 is incomplete/placeholder/estimate, so I want 2019 column value to be a refined calculated value instead.

Data table is similar to this:

......to further complicate, possibly, the rows marked as 'rate' - e.g. Metric 7 Rate - are calculated baseed on other rows' values.

Appreciate any help/guidance 🙂

Hi @kevpuk,

Could you please offer your sample file to have a test and post your desired result if possible?

Hi

Thanks for your response.

I have created a simple sampl .pbix file......on the left hand side of the page are simple matrix visuals, with annual data from 2016-2019......to the right, with red borders around, I have created a couple of simple matrix visuals using measures to provide an 'annualised' view of the current year (simply, item count/days in year * 365).

What I am trying to achieve is a method to make one visual that - in this case - would show actual numbers for 2016, 2017 and 2018, but would show the annualised value for 2019.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this 🙂

Hi @kevpuk,

Could you mean to calculate the [Fall] and [Trip] measure with sample data for 2016, 2017, 2018 and use another measure for 2019?

If so, could you have tried with IF function?

Fall = IF(CALCULATE(MAX('sample_data'[Period])<>"2019"),calculate(Sum(sample_data[Value]),sample_data[Metric]="Fall"),0)

(You could replace the 0 in the formula to the measure of calculating "2019")

Hi Daniel

Well, that is elegant, nice and simple - thank-you very much 🙂
