Forecasted Values vs Actuals (Clustered Column Chart)

Hi All,

 

New to PowerBI and so you can say this is my crash course. Anyways, I have managed to create a visual for what my forecasted values where:

Now I would like to bring in the actuals sales quantities from another table, but when I do I get the following:

Am I missing a relationship or something else? Please reach out if there is any further info. that is needed to help me with this.

 

Thanks

Hi @specs129 

 

It seems you missed the relationship, and because of that in the chart, it shows the total value of actual sales quantities.

The best solution is to add a date/calendar table to your model and connect those two tables to the calendar table.

see this link to create a calendar/date table:
