Dynamically change measure value depending on the axis and drill level

I have a simple chart like this:

 

salesTarget.JPG

 

Ignoring the stacked element, the bars show the measure [TotalSales]

 

I need to create a target line that is 80% of the measure value for the first month/year/day in the chart (depending on drill level)

 

For example, in the pic above I have harcoded the value at 28000 (based on totalsales for March) so it shows a straight target line. across. How do I create a measue that does this and dynamically changes based on the first day or month or year and also dynamically changes depending on the level drilled?

 

Ive tried something like this but to no avail:

TargetSales = VAR SALESMARCH = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[TotalSales]),CALENDAR("20180301","20180330"))
              VAR PERCENT80 = SALESMARCH*0.8
              RETURN PERCENT80

Hi @rax99,

 

I made one sample for your reference.

 

1. Create a date table and create relationship with the fact table.

 

2, To create a calculated column in the fact table.

 

YEARMONTH = YEAR('Table1'[date])*100 +MONTH('Table1'[date])

3. Create a measure as below.

 

mea =
VAR countr =
    CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table1'[date] ), ALLSELECTED ( Table1[date] ) )
VAR countrm =
    CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table1'[date] ), ALL ( Table1 ) )
VAR mindate =
    CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table1'[date] ), ALL ( Table1 ) )
VAR maxdate =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table1'[date] ) )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISBLANK ( countr ),
        BLANK (),
        IF (
            countr > 1
                && countr < countrm,
            CALCULATE (
                SUM ( Table1[amount] ),
                FILTER (
                    ALL ( Table1 ),
                    Table1[YEARMONTH]
                        = YEAR ( mindate ) * 100
                            + MONTH ( mindate )
                )
            )
                * 0.8,
            IF (
                countr = 1,
                CALCULATE (
                    SUM ( Table1[amount] ),
                    FILTER ( ALL ( Table1 ), 'Table1'[date] = mindate )
                )
                    * 0.8,
                CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[amount] ), ALL ( Table1 ) ) * 0.8
            )
        )
    )
