Forecasting issue in powerbi

I have a column in the dataset which tells me about the incremental revenue we are expected generate in the whole year, 
now i want to divide that by 12 and project it monthly, but i am unable to project it monthly for the cases where I dont have any information. 

example

Hi @Anonymous 

 

To project the incremental revenue monthly in Power BI, including for months where you don’t have any data, you can use Power BI’s DAX formulas to create a calculated column or measure.

 

Ensure you have a date table that includes all the months of the year. If you don’t have one, you can create it using the DAX function calendar.

 

Date Table = CALENDAR("1/1/2024", "12/31/2024")

 

Make sure your date table is related to your main data table on the date column.

 

If your yearly incremental revenue is not already calculated, create a measure to sum up the total revenue for the year.

 

Use the following DAX formula to create a measure that divides the yearly revenue by 12 and assigns it to each month:

 

Monthly Incremental Revenue = 
DIVIDE(
    [Total Yearly Incremental Revenue],
    12,
    BLANK()
)

 

To handle months with no data, you can use a combination of and functions in DAX to check if there’s data for a month and, if not, to show the calculated monthly revenue.

 

Projected Monthly Revenue = 
IF(
    ISBLANK([Your Revenue Column]),
    [Monthly Incremental Revenue],
    [Your Revenue Column]
)

 

 Use this new measure to create your visualizations.
