My raw data contains stacked montly reports that are updated each month with the months updated actuals and new forecast. Since the 'forecasts' of realised actuals become equal I am looking a 'previous forecast' series takes the forecast for the previous month at each datapoint, i.e the forecast the month before the actual was realised. I have included an example below.
Date Report Date | 01/12/2018 | 01/01/2019 | 01/02/2019 | 01/03/2019 | 01/04/2019 | 01/05/2019 | 01/06/2019 |
01/01/2019 | 437875 | 459013 | 521365 | 477432 | 730413 | 575623 | 734878 |
01/02/2019 | 437875 | 459013 | 371557 | 463568 | 400005 | 306671 | 25944 |
01/03/2019 | 437875 | 459013 | 371557 | 290603 | 459816 | 439199 | 173360 |
01/04/2019 | 437875 | 459013 | 371557 | 290603 | 559816 | 439199 | 173360 |
The figure highlighted in bold should make up my new series as the forcast from the previous report before that date.
Date | 01/12/2018 | 01/01/2019 | 01/02/2019 | 01/03/2019 | 01/04/2019 |
Current Forecast | 437875 | 459013 | 371557 | 290603 | 559816 |
Previous Forecast | 437875 | 459013 | 521365 | 463568 | 459816 |
The fields in question are: [Report_Date], [Date] and [Current Forecast]
Thanks
Hi @Anonymous
You may try below measure:
Previous Forecast = IF ( MAX ( Table1[Date] ) <= MINX ( ALL ( Table1 ), Table1[Report Date] ), CALCULATE ( MAX ( Table1[Value] ) ), CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[Value] ), FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Report Date] = DATE ( YEAR ( Table1[Date] ), MONTH ( Table1[Date] ) - 1, DAY ( Table1[Date] ) ) ) ) )

Thanks @v-cherch-msft
I amended your code slightly to the following, which is closer to the solution I require as pulls in last months figures, however going forward I need to use the the value that reflects the earliest available report.
Previous Forcast Forum = IF ( MAX(‘Table1’[Date]) <= MINX( ALL(‘Table1’), ‘Table1’[Report Date ]), CALCULATE(SUM(‘Table1’[Value])), CALCULATE(SUM(‘Table1’[Value]), DATEADD(‘Table1’[Report Date ],-1,MONTH) ) )
I presently get the following result, however need the value where the report date = date, to be equal across all reports.
