Hello team, I'm just getting started with Power BI and I have a question that seems simple, but I can't figure it out.
I have a table with the following columns:
1 - Estimated remaining work: where I record my last estimated effort;
2 - Capacity: My team's capacity to perform in each iteration;
3 - Projected Estimated remaining work: Based on my last estimated effort, according to my capabilities, in which iteration this estimate would reach zero.
My question is:
I would like to create a column in DAX that exactly represents column 3.
Thanks
Railton

Hi @railtons ,
Here some steps that I want to share, you can check them if they suitable for your requirement.
Here is my test data:
1.Open power query and add a index column
2.Create a calculate column
Projected Estimated remaining work =
VAR _a =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Capacity]),
FILTER('Table','Table'[Index] <= EARLIER ( 'Table'[Index] ) )
)
RETURN
CALCULATE(
MAX('Table'[Estimated remaing work]),
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[Index] = 1
)
)-_a
Final output
Best regards,
Albert He
