Data Snapshots

Hi,

 

Is it possible to create monthy snapshots of data? For example if i forecasted a sale of 5M for the year 2021 on 1.2.2021, this would be saved and visualized. I would present a monthly "change in sales forecast".

 

Any ideas on how to do this?

@CarlsBerg999  You could use PowerApps to store these forecast values back to a data source somewhere, but generally Power BI does the reporting for data that is stored and snapshotted elsewhere, so you'd be creating a row in PowerApps in another data source for each month. 


Please @mention me in your reply if you want a response.

Hi @CarlsBerg999 ,

 

So maybe you would like to create some snapshots of your report under an scheduled refresh, is that right?

 

Best Regards,

Yuna
