Linear forecast based on historical values (month, quarter, year)

Hello!

I've 2 tables in PBI model:

1) Granular daily sales values (by products, customers, etc.) with missing dates in between (sales don't happen every day)

2) A list of dates with 3 columns:

  • Date (no missing dates)
  • Month-to-date number of working days for that date
  • Total number of working days for that month

I need a graph with 2 lines:

1. Sales, MTD

2. Linear forecast for sales based on this formula: ( Sales, MTD / Month-to-date number of working days for that date

) * Total number of working days for that month

 

This should preferably work for quarter and year.

 

Would appreciate any help.

 

Thank you in advance.
