I'm a bit confused here. I hope you can help me with this problem.
For a housing association I want to make a forecast of the rental income for the next five years.
I have to calculate this individually for each year and for each house because of company policies and state regulations. So I have to use calculated columns instead of measurements. Correct me if I'm wrong.
For example: if the rent of a house is lower than roughly 60% of the maximum rent of that specific house, then the rent must increase more than if the rent is 80% of the maximum rent.
And this check should be done every year.
I have included a number of parameters for the rent increase in my report so that the housing association can see what the effect will be on total income.
As far as I know you can't use parameters in calculated columns in PowerBi.
Is there a work around I can use?
This is a small example of the data I use.
House_Id | CurrentRent | MaximumRent | %Rent |
P0001 | 840 | 1050 | 80% |
P0002 | 642 | 652 | 98% |
P0003 | 548 | 1026 | 53% |
P0004 | 849 | 1178 | 72% |
P0005 | 428 | 676 | 63% |
P0006 | 578 | 854 | 68% |
P0007 | 637 | 854 | 75% |
P0008 | 560 | 1046 | 54% |
P0009 | 601 | 1176 | 51% |
P0010 | 410 | 684 | 60% |
P0011 | 870 | 1027 | 85% |
P0012 | 668 | 1199 | 56% |
P0013 | 714 | 968 | 74% |
P0014 | 472 | 933 | 51% |
P0015 | 687 | 1143 | 60% |
P0016 | 814 | 1200 | 68% |
P0017 | 657 | 685 | 96% |
P0018 | 665 | 722 | 92% |
P0019 | 442 | 747 | 59% |
And the parameters on the report:
Parameters | |
Rent < 60% MaxRent | 4,00% |
Rent 60 - 75% MaxRent | 3,00% |
Rent 75 - 90% MaxRent | 2,00% |
Rent > 90% MaxRent | 0,00% |
And the result should be:
House_Id | Rent Year 1 | Rent Year 2 | Rent Year 3 | Rent Year 4 | Rent Year 5 |
P0001 | 856,80 | 873,94 | 891,41 | 909,24 | 927,43 |
P0002 | 642,00 | 642,00 | 642,00 | 642,00 | 642,00 |

P0004 | 874,47 | 900,70 | 918,72 | 937,09 | 955,83 |
P0005 | 440,84 | 454,07 | 467,69 | 481,72 | 496,17 |
P0006 | 595,34 | 613,20 | 631,60 | 650,54 | 663,55 |

P0012 | 694,72 | 722,51 | 744,18 | 766,51 | 789,50 |
P0013 | 735,42 | 750,13 | 765,13 | 780,43 | 796,04 |
P0014 | 490,88 | 510,52 | 530,94 | 552,17 | 574,26 |
P0015 | 707,61 | 728,84 | 750,70 | 773,22 | 796,42 |
P0016 | 838,42 | 863,57 | 889,48 | 916,16 | 934,49 |
P0017 | 657,00 | 657,00 | 657,00 | 657,00 | 657,00 |
P0018 | 665,00 | 665,00 | 665,00 | 665,00 | 665,00 |
P0019 | 459,68 | 473,47 | 487,67 | 502,30 | 517,37 |
And of course: totals by city, province and country.
So each year the rent is based on the rent in the previous year. In formula:
Rent Year i = Rent Year i-1 * ( 1 + a )
Where a is based on Rent Year i-1 / Maximum Rent and one of the four parameters.
@JeroenN Correct, parameters (what if parameters) will not affect calculated columns. You will need to use a measure. You should be able to use a measure it will just be a bit more complicated and you will have to deal with measure totals most likely.
To go further, would need sample data. Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
