    Holt-Winters Forecasting in DAX

    ‎12-23-2022 02:42 PM

    No, you most certainly should not be doing this. But, I figured, what the heck. Some of the code is provided below. There is lots more code, well over 3,000+ lines. This solution is based on this article by Gregory Trubetskoy: Holt-Winters Forecasting for Dummies - Part III - Gregory Trubetskoy (grisha.org). I also included the 6 line R solution created by Brian Julius: Post | Feed | LinkedIn

     

    Here is the video that explains the code.

     

    Here is some of the code:

     

    initial_trend = 
        VAR __slen = 12
        VAR __table = 
            ADDCOLUMNS(
                GENERATESERIES(0, __slen - 1, 1),
                "__sum", 
                    DIVIDE(
                        MAXX(FILTER('Series', [Index] = [Value] + __slen), [Column]) - 
                            MAXX(FILTER('Series', [Index] = [Value]),[Column]),
                        __slen
                    )
            )
        VAR __result = DIVIDE(SUMX(__table, [__sum]), __slen)
    RETURN
        __result
    
    
    Prediction = 
        VAR __slen = 12
        VAR __i = MAX('Indices'[Index])
        VAR __count = COUNTROWS(ALL('Series'))
        VAR __result = 
            IF(
                __i > __count - 1,
                    VAR __m = __i - __count + 1
                    VAR __smooth = MAX('Forecast71'[smooth])
                    VAR __trend = MAX('Forecast71'[trend])
                    VAR __mod = MOD(__i, __slen)
                    VAR __seasonal = MAXX(FILTER('Seasonal71', [Value] = __mod), [__Value])
                    VAR __result = (__smooth + __m * __trend) + __seasonal
                RETURN
                    __result,
                BLANK()
            )
    RETURN
        __result

    I don't think people truly appreciate how much skill this actually took to figure out. Having created this measure measures like this myself, I just have to say I respect the work and admire the skill! My video would have involved A LOT more cussing lol
