KPI Goal as Initial Value by DateTime

I want my KPI to show the first sales number by Created Date per each project ID. 

Any suggestion on how I could fix this?

 

For the attached sample, the expected outcome would be for the Goal value (First) to show 5.50M instead of 4.9M since that is the first Sales 1 of Project ID 28.

  • Hi, Anonymous 

     

    It’s my pleasure to answer for you.

    According to your description,I think need to create a index column in PQ first,because your date column has duplicate data.Then create a measure.

    Like this:

     

    First Value 1 =
    VAR a =
        MINX (
            FILTER (
                ALL ( data ),
                [Project ID] = SELECTEDVALUE ( data[Project ID] )
                    && [Sales 1] <> BLANK ()
            ),
            [Index]
        )
    RETURN
        MAXX ( FILTER ( ALL ( data ), [Index] = a ), [Sales 1] )

     

    If it doesn’t solve your problem, please feel free to ask me.

     

    Best Regards

      That actually worked! Thank you Janey. v-janeyg-msft 

       

      Any thought on fixing the trend line there?

      As you can see, the correct trend line would be the one from the second graph (color green) rather than the first graph (color red). 

      I tried to write the function as a column instead of a measure. That didn't work.

      Any thoughts?

       

       

       

      Greatly appreciated.

        Hi, Anonymous 

         

        The green graph was presented by the wrong goal value, and it will change after the goal value is corrected.If you feel not good, it may be that your data is not suitable for using KPIs.You need to adjust the data first.

        Here is the KPI link.You can check it.

  • Anonymous , Create a new measure like this and try


    first value =
    sumx(values(Table[project id]), firstnonblankvalue(Table[Created Date], Sum(Table[Sales])))

      Thanks for sharing that!

      I tried that measure and it still didn't show the right value for the target goal in the KPI. 

      It still shows as 4.9M instead of 5.5M.
