measure adjusting start date

[YBZ]

Hi all,

I have a visual (if you can call it even a proper visual... :)) that looks as followed.

The red line starts from the start date of the 'Calendar'. I would like to however let it automatically start from the period when there are actuals (for every project this is different), I am just not sure how to do that.

Total budget release = calculate(sum('LE 2022'[Budget release/LIP]),ALL('Calendar'))

Perhaps worth to share is :

actuals (yellow bars) are specifically linked in my date model to a month. While the total budget release (red line) is not linked to a month, but to a specific year.

Any idea on how make it a proper visual 🙂 ?

Hi,

Your budget measure should be:

Total budget release = if(isblank([Actuals]),blank(),sum('LE 2022'[Budget release/LIP]))

Hope this helps.

Hi @YBZ ,

I'm not clear about your requirement. Do you want to show the red line start from the date which the yellow bar starts with the culmulative values? If yes, you can update the formula of measure [Total budget release] as below:

Total budget release =
VAR _mindate =
    MINX ( ALLSELECTED ( 'LE 2022' ), 'LE 2022'[Date] )
VAR _maxdate =
    MAXX ( ALLSELECTED ( 'LE 2022' ), 'LE 2022'[Date] )
VAR _seldate =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
RETURN
    IF (
        _seldate >= _mindate
            && _seldate <= _maxdate,
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'LE 2022'[Budget release/LIP] ),
            FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'LE 2022' ), 'LE 2022'[Date] <= _seldate )
        ),
        BLANK ()
    )

If the above one can't help you, could you please provide some raw data in your table 'LE 2022' (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples? It would be helpful to find out the solution. You can refer the following links to share the required info:

And It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.
