Show target reduction
- Anonymous3 years ago
rsbin ,
Thank you so much for getting me pointed in the right direction, I wouldn't have been able to accomplish this task without your support.
I apologize it took me a little longer than anticipated but I have finally been able to put together something that accomplishes what I was trying to do:
To get this to calculate the reduction properly I had to use the following:zTestProjectedReduction = VAR minDate = CALCULATE(MIN('table'[weekEndingExpire]),ALLSELECTED('table'[weekEndingExpire])) VAR maxDate = MAX('table'[weekEndingExpire]) VAR noWeeks = DATEDIFF(minDate, maxDate, WEEK) + 1 VAR noEmps = SELECTEDVALUE('table2'[Value]) VAR compTar = SELECTEDVALUE('table3'[Value]) Return CALCULATE( [zProjectedExpTotSum] - ((noEmps * compTar) * noWeeks), 'table'[weekEndingExpire] <=maxDate )The difference between my first attempt and the second is I had to "calculate" the minDate because the previous declaration for that variable:
VAR minDate = MIN('table'[weekEndingExpire])would basically default the value to 1 for every week and not take into consideration previous weeks in the date range.
I also ended up created two new tables ("table2" & "table3") that essentially allow the user of the report to select the number of employees and a completion target. This in turn allows the projection the the bar graph to update dynamically based on the user selection.
