Greetings all,
I’m looking to get advice regarding a historical sales comparison. I have two tables, actual invoice sales and target invoice sales. The issue is that my target sales are broken down by monthly targets instead of having a daily value to compare to my invoice sales table.
My sales manager wants to see a side by side (same visual) view and at the moment I can’t seem to figure out how to compare the two figures within a single chart.
My target sales table can be linked back to actual sales by an identifier Territory_ID.
I’ve created a Qtr/Month/Year key in my Sales Targets table tied back to the Dates table with the same key, which allows me to use this on a high-level scale.
Here’s the structure of the table:
Now when I compare it on a matrix to look at actual vs targets, the result doesn’t provide targets for years other than 2018.
My RM_Target table is linked to my date table in my relationships. The way I currently tie these two tables is based off of the QTR/MONTH/YR column -->
Target Sales = CALCULATE(Sum(RM_Target[Target_amount]),USERELATIONSHIP(RM_Target[QTR/MTH/YR],Dates_V2[QTR/MNTH/YR]))
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
