Target and Current Measure, splitting between dates in a visual to see change over years

[DebbieE]

say you have a single measure. Baseline Average of 50

And you have another single measure, called target of 30

these are just single figure values

And you have a date table. 

Is there any way of dragging in years from the date table for example 2020 2021 2022 2023 and 2024 (5 years) into a visual

And have some DAX that figures out how you break down the 50 on the first year in 2020 to 30 in 2025

Which is 

but if you changed the number of years then the figures would update accordingly. 

obviously Ive gone for easy numbers here but essentially, someone could change the baseline and target figures and we could implement some DAX so we can add years in. 

At the moment I havent got much of a clue if it can be done. Im not actually sure of the maths at the moment so any ideas would be fantastic

Hi @DebbieE 

I use some simple data to test and get what you need. Please take the following DAX codes for reference.

• Date Table:

Date = ADDCOLUMNS(CALENDAR(DATE(2020,1,1),DATE(2024,12,31)),"Year",YEAR([Date]))

• Measures:

Baseline Measure = 50

Target Measure = 30

Value Measure = 
VAR maxYear = CALCULATE(MAX('Date'[Year]),ALLSELECTED('Date'[Year]))
VAR minYear = CALCULATE(MIN('Date'[Year]),ALLSELECTED('Date'[Year]))
VAR breakdownPart = DIVIDE([Baseline Measure] - [Target Measure], maxYear - minYear)
RETURN
[Baseline Measure] - breakdownPart * (MAX('Date'[Year]) - minYear)

I use a slicer to get the years from Date table. When changing the years range, the Value Measure will change accordingly. Let me know if this works at your side. Please download the PBIX.
