Headcount Forecast - Recursive DAX Formula

Hi all, 

 

I am incredibly stuck and looking for assistance; I know Power BI doesn't have looping functionality at this time. I am trying to forecast headcount 24 months based on a 3 year average turnover rate. In order to do so, I reference the prior month's headcount and multiple by the 3 year average turnover rate. I then subtract this amount from the prior months headcount to get a forecasted headcount. I then do this same formula 24 times and use a final measure to combine all of these measures together so that I am not getting just one value for each month. A screenshot is provided below. I have limited this to 8 month forecast for simplicity purposes.

I apologize if this isn't clear - I am happy to help explain further! I am looking for any solution. It is okay if I have to do this outside of Power BI, but the challenge is that this formula is based off a DAX measure and I need this to work with various dimensions.

 

Thank you so much for your time!

This allows members of the Forum to assess the state of the model, report layer, relationships, and any DAX applied.
