What are the attributes to the forecast? Is it an average of YTD or the last x months? If you can tell me this, then we can try and get a solution for you

It should be on last x month. till december.

Hi @JoeBarry 
Data is same as it is in the screen short.
The data which is in the forecast column is calculated using Forecast formula in excel.

Hi @Ubedulla 

 

Is the data the same as in the screenshot you provided?

I would create a couple of  measures and then add them to the visual

 

Actual Sales = SUM(Table1[Actual Sales]) 

 

forecasted Sales = SUM(Table1[Forcast])
