Getting the sum of the daily value of projects per day

Hi all,

 

I hope someone can help me with this. I'm new to Power BI, but have a bit of programming experiance. The logic of this makes sense to me, but I can't quite pinpoint a way to do it as a measure. And I do hope I explain this well, I struggle to wrtie down whats in my head. 

 

  • I have a table of projects with project ID, start date, end date, and period, which links to another table that has all the project budget details.
  • I calculate our project value using the figures in our budget table
  • I then calculate the daily value of a project - value/period
  • I also have a table with all dates from today to today + 90 days.

What I'm looking for is a measure that will sum the daily value of the projects active in the selected date range.

 

eg:

Date Range: 20/05/2023 - 22/05/2023

 

Date: 20/5/2023

Projects Active on This Date: 555, 234, 128, 542

Daily Value of Each of These Projects: $600, $1000, $5000, $20

Sum of Daily Values for This Date: $6620

Thus, 20/5/2023 is worth $6620 to us.

 

Date: 21/5/2023

Projects Active on This Date: 234, 128, 542

Daily Value of Each of These Projects: $1000, $5000, $20

Sum of Daily Values for This Date: $6020

Thus, 21/5/2023 is worth $6020 to us.

 

Date: 22/5/2023

Projects Active on This Date: 234, 128, 542, 784

Daily Value of Each of These Projects: $1000, $5000, $20, $40

Sum of Daily Values for This Date: $6060

Thus, 22/5/2023 is worth $6060 to us.

 

...and so on...

 

I then want to plot that on a graph where Y = Daily Value Sum, X = Each Day.

 

This is easy enough to write in something like C#, but i'm struggeling to do it as a Power BI measure. 

 

Thank you!

Hi,

Share data in a format that can be pasted in an MS Excel file.
