Annual budget split monthly with seasonality

Hi all, I would like to request assistance to get the annual budget split over months with seasonality. So, what I have is the prior 3 Years actual figures with different Items (only one Year illustrated below). These I would like to split for the new budget year as an average of the prior 3 years trends. Here is a sample of the prior year’s actuals per item:

PeriodItemActuals%
201607111247517.5%
201608111257787.8%
201609111256887.8%
201610111259687.9%
201611111255777.8%
201612111254967.8%
201701111274678.4%
201702111289478.8%
201703111290958.9%
201704111278128.5%
201705111290788.9%
2017061113272610.0%
201607125244127.3%
201608125254257.6%
201609125253367.6%
201610125294548.8%
201611125290118.7%
201612125256507.7%
201701125276328.3%
201702125291228.7%
201703125292708.7%
201704125279808.4%
201705125292538.7%
201706125322779.6%
2016071314957.5%
2016081315167.8%
2016091315147.8%
2016101315197.9%
2016111315127.8%
2016121315107.8%
2017011315498.4%
2017021315798.8%
2017031315828.9%
2017041315568.5%
2017051315828.9%
201706131655

10.0%

 

Then I have a sample of the Budget for the next financial year as one value only for the year. This I would like to split as per the performance of the average of the prior years, e.g.

Budget YearItemBudget
2017/2018111394058
2017/2018125411829
2017/2018131

8538

 

So, the desired outcome in Power BI automatically adjusting would be calculating the seasonality or monthly trend from prior years multiplied by the annual budget figure to illustrate the monthly budget e.g.

PeriodItemSeasonality Monthly Budget
2017071117.5%                    29,701
2017081117.8%                    30,933
2017091117.8%                    30,825
2017101117.9%                    31,161
2017111117.8%                    30,692
2017121117.8%                    30,595
2018011118.4%                    32,960
2018021118.8%                    34,737
2018031118.9%                    34,913
2018041118.5%                    33,375
2018051118.9%                    34,893
20180611110.0%                    39,271
2017071257.3%                    30,027
2017081257.6%                    31,272
2017091257.6%                    31,163
2017101258.8%                    36,228
2017111258.7%                    35,683
2017121257.7%                    31,549
2018011258.3%                    33,988
2018021258.7%                    35,820
2018031258.7%                    36,002
2018041258.4%                    34,415
2018051258.7%                    35,981
2018061259.6%                    39,701
2017071317.5%                          644
2017081317.8%                          670
2017091317.8%                          668
2017101317.9%                          675
2017111317.8%                          665
2017121317.8%                          663
2018011318.4%                          714
2018021318.8%                          753
2018031318.9%                          756
2018041318.5%                          723
2018051318.9%                          756
20180613110.0%                          851

 

Your assistance in getting these calculations done in Power BI would be truly appreciated.

@norbi,

 

You may use LOOKUPVALUE Function to add a calculated column or refer to this example.

@v-chuncz-msft the LOOKUPVALUE will not work as the annual figures first need to be split monthly according to the distribution.
