Scenario analysis: predefined and user-controlled

Hello everyone

I'm creating a scenario analysis for Altman Z (a company's financial risk), and I've successfully created 2 round-the-box: EBIT change and sales change. code as follows:

Public change scenario ?
SUMX( 'AltmanZ (Public)' ,
'AltmanZ (Public)'[Earnings before interest and taxes] * ( 1 + [EBIT Scenario] ) / 'AltmanZ (Public)'[Total Assets] ) * 3.3 +
"AltmanZ (Public)",
'AltmanZ (Public)'[Working Capital] / 'AltmanZ (Public)'[Total Assets]) * 1.2 +
"AltmanZ (Public)",
'AltmanZ (Public)'[Retained Earnings] / 'AltmanZ (Public)'[Total Assets]) * 1.4 +
"AltmanZ (Public)",
'AltmanZ (Public)'[Wealth Market Value ] / 'AltmanZ (Public)'[Total Liabilities]) * 0.6+
"AltmanZ (Public)",
'AltmanZ (Public)'[Sales] * ( 1 + 'Percentage of Sales Change'[Sales Scenario] ) / 'AltmanZ (Public)'[Total Assets] * 0.999 )

Problem:

my current solution is controlled exclusively by the user. I'm looking to have 2 options - user-controlled and predefined. For the presets, I want 3 options: that for each one I would select to say:

option 1: Bit change -10% and change sales -10%

option 2: Bit change -30% and sales change -30%

option 3: Bit change +20% and sales change + 20%

How do I have a preset switch and user control? and then set option 3 to preset?

Thank you!

Hi all,

 

I am creating some scenario analysis for Altman Z (financial risk of a company), and have successfully created 2 varables: EBIT change and Sales change. code as follows:

Scenario Changed Public =
SUMX( 'AltmanZ (Public)' ,
'AltmanZ (Public)'[Earnings Before Interest and Tax] * ( 1 + [EBIT Scenario] ) / 'AltmanZ (Public)'[Total Assets] ) * 3.3 +
sumx ('AltmanZ (Public)' ,
'AltmanZ (Public)'[Working Capital] / 'AltmanZ (Public)'[Total Assets]) * 1.2 +
sumx ('AltmanZ (Public)' ,
'AltmanZ (Public)'[Retained Earnings] / 'AltmanZ (Public)'[Total Assets]) * 1.4 +
sumx ('AltmanZ (Public)' ,
'AltmanZ (Public)'[Market Value of Equity ] / 'AltmanZ (Public)'[Total Liabilities]) * 0.6 +
sumx ('AltmanZ (Public)' ,
'AltmanZ (Public)'[Sales] * ( 1 + 'Percent Sales Change'[Sales Scenario] ) / 'AltmanZ (Public)'[Total Assets] * 0.999 )

 

Problem:

my current solution is purely user controlled. I am seeking to have 2 options - user controlled and pre-defined. For pre-defined, I want 3 options: which for each would select say: 

option 1 : Ebit change -10% & Sales Change -10%

option 2 : Ebit change -30% & Sales Change -30%

option 3: Ebit change +20% & Sales Change + 20%

 

How can I have a toggle for pre-defined and user control? and then set up the 3 option under pre-defined?

 

thanks!
