Formula to calculate a goal that changes over a period in a Polynomial.

[moltra]

I am trying to make a formula that changes a calculated goal measure so that it matches the Polynomial results of the measure being monitored.  Ignore the scale on the left, the calculated goal measure goes from the Left to the Right.  The below chart shows rate of change of the calculated goal measure.  

Here is the calculated goal measure that I am using.

TimePeriodMax is CurrentPeriod Max divided by Numbers of Period slices in measurement Period.

PeriodToNow is the number of Period slices in the measurement Period to the current period slice.

DIVIDE ( ( TimePeriodMax * PeriodToNow ), CurrentPeriodmax ))* correctionFactor  Returns a percentage value.  

The Value is 0 at the beginning of the Period and 100% at the end of the period.

I ended up just using the DAX SWITCH function to change a correction factor to estimate what the goal value should be.  I am adjusting the SWITCH function values as needed to tweak the goal value.   I will post some images today that shows with and without the correction factor, so everyone can understand what I am trying to do.

DayKwhGoalPct = //(Divide(([CurrentDayHourlykWhMax] * [TimeToNow]),[CurrentDayKwhMax]))*.175
VAR KwhTimePeriodMax = [CurrentDayHourlykWhMax] //this is the kwh max for the total period being monitored divided by the Hours/days in the period.
VAR PeriodToNow = [TimeToNow] //This is the Hours/days in the period to now
VAR CurrentPeriodmax = [CurrentDayKwhMax] //the maximum kwh for the day/month/year beeing monitored
//start to 10 => .175, 10:30 to 11 =>.39, 11:00 to 12:30 =>.6, 12:30 to 13:00 =>.75, 13:00 to 14:00 =>.9, 14:00 to :00 =>1.0
VAR CorrectionFactor =
    SWITCH (
        TRUE,
        PeriodToNow <= 2, .175,
        PeriodToNow <= 4, .4,
        PeriodToNow <= 4.5, .5,
        PeriodToNow <= 5.5, .6,
        PeriodToNow <= 6.5, .8,
        PeriodToNow <= 7.5, .9,
        PeriodToNow <= 8, 1,
        1
    )
VAR FinalResult =
    ( DIVIDE ( ( KwhTimePeriodMax * PeriodToNow ), CurrentPeriodmax ) ) * correctionFactor
RETURN
    { FinalResult }

In the below graphic, you can see the differences in the goal, the outer color in the visuals.  If you look at the lower visual it looks like you are missing your goal by a long amount, but since the amount of sunlight is only a portion (40%) of what it will be at the peak.  So the top visual has a more accurage goal, it uses a correctionfactor of 0.4.

Hi @moltra 

I didn't fully understand what you mean. you want the Value of the blue Measure is 0 at the beginning of the Period and 100% at the end of the period, right?

and I'm not very familiar to your model, so what's the logic of calculating a goal that changes over a period in a Polynomial?

Any question, please let me know. looking forward to receiving your reply.

I am trying to graph the output of a solar plant.  The output of it changes depending on the time of day.  Its max output is in the middle of the day.

Hi @moltra 

still not very clear, I find a tutorial, please take a look at it,
