Hi JoeBarry,
This dax provides the results for one month, My scenario is forecast needs to calculated for 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])
