Hi everyone,
I'm working on a DAX measure that performs a linear regression on cost data and then predicts the cost for the end of the current month. I'm using the LINESTX function to calculate the slope and intercept of the regression line. Below is the code I'm working with:
LinestX =
VAR azcost_agg =
SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(
azcost_f[DT_DATE],
azcost_f[ID_SUBSCRIPTION],
FILTER(
azcost_f,
azcost_f[DT_DATE] >= DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), 1, 1)
),
"TotalCost", SUM(azcost_f[N_CostInBillingCurrency])
)
-- Apply the LINESTX function and extract coefficients
VAR cost_prediction =
ADDCOLUMNS(
LINESTX(azcost_agg, [TotalCost], [DT_DATE]),
"Slope", SELECTCOLUMNS(LINESTX(azcost_agg, [TotalCost], [DT_DATE]), "Slope1", [Slope1]),
"Intercept", SELECTCOLUMNS(LINESTX(azcost_agg, [TotalCost], [DT_DATE]), "Intercept", [Intercept])
)
-- Extract specific values
VAR slope = MAXX(cost_prediction, [Slope1])
VAR intercept = MAXX(cost_prediction, [Intercept])
-- Calculate the prediction for the end of the current month
VAR prediction = slope * EOMONTH(TODAY(), 0) + intercept
RETURN
prediction
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.
@IHOUM , To ensure that the measure respects user-selected filters, you should use ALLSELECTED or REMOVEFILTERS to control the context in which the regression is calculated. This will allow the measure to dynamically recalculate based on the filters applied in the report.

VAR prediction = slope * EOMONTH(TODAY(), 0) + intercept
RETURN
prediction
