Moving Target Sum
Hi community. Im trying to replicate an excel calculation from a colleague. Basically he created this measure that aims to predict revenue stream for upcoming months. I do not agree with this method but my only task is replicating this in Bi. I will explain everything below as I feel it's easier shown than written.
Basically I have data in the way thats shown below:
| TABLE A | A | B | C |
| 1 | Year | Month | Revenue |
| 2 | 2021 | 1 | 100 |
| 3 | 2021 | 2 | 102 |
| 4 | 2021 | 3 | 101 |
| 5 | 2021 | 4 | 122 |
| 6 | 2021 | 5 | 100 |
| 7 | 2021 | 6 | 123 |
| 8 | 2021 | 7 | 100 |
| 9 | 2021 | 8 | 105 |
| 10 | 2021 | 9 | 130 |
| 11 | 2021 | 10 | 115 |
| 12 | 2021 | 11 | 115 |
| 13 | 2021 | 12 | 162 |
| 14 | 2021 | 1 | 123 |
| 15 | 2021 | 2 | 121 |
| 16 | 2021 | 3 | 100 |
I need to create a measure that calculates a new column, lets call it D, that will have information sort of like this:
| TABLE A | A | B | C | D |
| 1 | Year | Month | Revenue | New Measure |
| 2 | 2021 | 1 | 100 | +SUM(C3:C14) |
| 3 | 2021 | 2 | 102 | +SUM(C4:C15) |
| 4 | 2021 | 3 | 101 | +SUM(C5:C16) |
| 5 | 2021 | 4 | 122 | ... |
| 6 | 2021 | 5 | 100 | |
| 7 | 2021 | 6 | 123 | |
| 8 | 2021 | 7 | 100 | |
| 9 | 2021 | 8 | 105 | |
| 10 | 2021 | 9 | 130 | |
| 11 | 2021 | 10 | 115 | |
| 12 | 2021 | 11 | 115 | |
| 13 | 2021 | 12 | 162 | |
| 14 | 2021 | 1 | 123 | |
| 15 | 2021 | 2 | 121 | |
| 16 | 2021 | 3 | 100 |
Any ideas on hwo to calculate this new measure in PBi?
Thanks!
Hi, Anonymous
May I ask if this is the expected output you are looking for? Based on your description, I have created a measure to achieve the effect you are looking for. Following picture shows the effect of the display.
Measures:
PredictedValue = VAR _1 = SUM ( 'Table'[Index] ) + 1 VAR _2 = SUM ( 'Table'[Index] ) + 12 VAR _predictedValue = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Revenue] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Index] = _1 || 'Table'[Index] = _2 ) ) RETURN _predictedValueIf this does not work, could you please share some sample data without sensitive information and expected output.
