Trend Analysis

I am trying to evaluate sales trends in a particular geographical area (city) within a particular timeframe (usually 30 days) based on a particular event. I.e. if a sale is made to a particular entity, how are sales effected in the region in the next 30 days. Looking on how to build and automate this process so I can evaluate the effects in multiple areas.

    Anonymous , You have try meaures like

    Rolling 30 day = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date],MAX(Sales[Sales Date]),-30,Day))

    or
    Rolling 30 day = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date],MAX(Sales[Sales Date]),-30,Day), allexcept(Sales,sales[region]))

     

    Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

    Hi Anonymous,

    You can try to use analysis panel functions to generate a trendline based on your records, please take a look at the following link about analysis panel features:

    Use the Analytics pane in Power BI Desktop 

    If above not help, you can also consider manually write a measure formula to calculate the trend. Please share some dummy data with expected result them we can test to coding formula on it.
