Need Advice: How to visualize Ordering towards Forcast

Hello,

 

I'm new to PowerBI and I want some advice how to tackle this issue. I've got 2 Excels:

 

Excel 1: Orders Excel - This contains all the orders of 2024

Typical row: Date - Supplier - Order Value - Description - ...

 

Excel 2: Forcast Excel - This contains the forcast for every supplier (weekbase)

! Every supplier is set up as a column and in the rows are the values per week

Typical row: Weeknumber - Total Forcast - Forcast value Supplier1 - Forcast value Supplier2 - ...

 

How can I easily visualize if the total ordering from a supplier start deviating on a certain week?

For example: on week 10 we see >20% deviation in order value of supplier 3 in comparison with the forcast value we had for that supplier.

 

My idea was to:

1) Make a new table "Supplier - Total Order" with a unique list of the suppliers from the Orders Table (copy + remove duplicates)

2) In the new table "Supplier - Total Order", make a new calculated column of SUMIF values  from the Orders Table

-> I'm stuck in this step. Help!

3) "Supplier - Total Order" Table: Convert columns to row => Suppliers are header in new Table

4) Compare "Supplier - Total Order" with table "Forcast" and do some calculates to determine deviation% and visualize.

 

I can't share my data because it is not in lign with my company policy. My apologies for this.

 

All advice is very hard appreciated.

 

Kind regards,

Jelse

    Hi, Jelse 

     

    Can you tell us about the conditions of SUMIF or provide some example data?

    And don't give out private information and personal information.
