Hi All,
I'm trying to calculate a yearly budget that is adjusted for yearly inflation.
The budget is based on a calculation (Sum("Budgetcolumn")) and the inflation percentages are based on a table :
| index | Year | percentage |
| 1 | 2018 | 0,045 |
| 2 | 2019 | 0,045 |
| 3 | 2020 | 0,045 |
| 4 | 2021 | 0,045 |
| 5 | 2022 | 0,045 |
| 6 | 2023 | 0,045 |
| 7 | 2024 | 0,045 |
| 8 | 2025 | 0,045 |
To make checking my calculations easier the current inflation percentages are al the same, in the definitive model the percentages will be changed to different numbers.
I would like to calculate what my budget needs to be in 2025 with the inflation adjustment, in Excel I would calculate that like this:
| A | B | C | D |
| 1 | Year | Percentage | Budget |
| 2 | 2017 | 4,50% | € 100.000,00 |
| 3 | 2018 | 4,50% | € 104.500,00 |
| 4 | 2019 | 4,50% | € 109.202,50 |
| 5 | 2020 | 4,50% | € 114.116,61 |
| 6 | 2021 | 4,50% | € 119.251,86 |
| 7 | 2022 | 4,50% | € 124.618,19 |
| 8 | 2023 | 4,50% | € 130.226,01 |
| 9 | 2024 | 4,50% | € 136.086,18 |
| 10 | 2025 | 4,50% | € 142.210,06 |
For 2017 i'd just fill in the budget manualy as it is the starting budget. However for the following years the formula would be:
2018 = D2+D2*C3
2019 = D3+D3*C4
Etc.
This of course will not work in Dax and after a full day searching trough google i can't seem to find a working method.
This could be because English is not my first language and i'm just not using the correct search terms...
In any case i would greatly appreciate somebody help me out!
Best regards,
Hendrik
Solved! Go to Solution.
You can use PRODUCTX() for that.
Calculated column:
Budget =
var r = 'Table'[Row]
return 100000*COALESCE(PRODUCTX(filter('Table','Table'[Row]<r),1+'Table'[Percentage]/100),1)
See attached.
works perfectly, thank you so much!
