Forecast Amount
Hi there,
I would like to create some measures to calculate the forecast amount but I am unable to get the correct amount.
Sample data here. Current month data and blank date data will be considered as forecast data.
- I have a monthly rate table and I want to calculate the forecast count for current month based on last month count by multiplying the monthly rate. E.g. There is 166 count in Jan'21 and Feb rate is -2%. To get Feb'21 count, I have to multiply the -2% with last month count. How to incorporate the rate by using previous month data?
- I have fixed rate of 86% for FS order type forecast count. After I got the total forecast count for current month, I have to multiply it with 86% for only FS order type ID.
- Then the forecast count for Other order type will be the total forecast count for current month minus the count for FS order type.
- There is an estimate for each ID and I need to calculate the proportion amount for FS order type and other order type. I need to take the count of point #2 divide by total ID count for "current month and blank date" data then multiply by the estimates. Same goes to the Other order type.
- Sum the amount in Point #4 for FS and Other order type.
Below is explanation of above points.

Can you please place the sample data onto a less agressive file share service? I don't care for their cookies.
