Questions about creating a column with projected values according to the last remaining work to be d

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

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
