Hi,
I have a table with events IDs and the dates when they occurred, similar to the one below, but with tens of thousands of rows.
Events table | |
Event ID | Date |
147833 | 01-Jun-20 |
147834 | 01-Jun-20 |
147835 | 02-Jun-20 |
147836 | 02-Jun-20 |
147837 | 02-Jun-20 |
147838 | 03-Jun-20 |
Most simple measures I used are pretty straight forward, e.g.
Count = count('Events table'[Date])
Cumulative = CALCULATE(
COUNT('Events table'[Event ID]),
FILTER(
ALL('Events table'),
'Events table'[Date] <= MAX('Events table'[Date])
)
)
Count | Cumulative | |
01-Jun-20 | 2 | 2 |
02-Jun-20 | 3 | 5 |
02-Jun-20 | 1 | 6 |
Total | 6 | 6 |
Displaying the cumulative number of cases each months is trivial using a DIMDATE table and the method used in the 'Cumulative' measure above. What I am trying to achieve is to display the average number of events that occurred each month based on the previous three years, i.e add all the cases in Jan-17, Jan-18 and Jan-19, divide it by three, and display the result as a forecast for January-20; then do something similar for all other months for an entire year.
I have tried everything I could think of for two days, and I am not getting anywhere.
Can anyone at least point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Hi @lazarus1907 ,
Check the measure as below.
Measure = [Cumulative]/CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Events Table'[Date]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Events Table'),'Events Table'[Date]<=MAX('Events Table'[Date])))
Best Regards,
Jay

the fastest way is to create 2 columns next to it
first column
month = month(events table[date])
second column year
year = Year(events table[date])
then create a measure
2020 forecast events =
VAR countyear = distinctcount(events table [year]) this will count the years to divide by
VAR eventcount = distinctcount(event table[eventid]) should count the total number of events
Return
eventcount / countyear
this will give you an average and then in a matrix drop in month as row then drop in the 2020 forecast events in values and it should work
