Total Sales as a % of Last Year Sales Gauge

[AmyBuk]

Hi

I'm new to Power BI and teaching myself as I go.  I've looked around but cannot find a solution to this.  I have columns of data showing Sales and Sales LY.  I'd like to use a gauge with Sales LY as the Max which is fine, with a target value of X% of Sales LY - this is where I am struggling.

If anyone could help I'd be really grateful.

Many thanks

Sorry for not being clear enough.

I think I've figured it out.  I've created a new measure which is:

= Sum([Sales LY]) * 0.75

and popped that measure into the maximum value box

I should have played around more before asking for help - sorry, and thanks for your responses.

@AmyBuk , Not very clear on the context. But you can get with time intelligence and date calendar

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))
Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))
This year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR('Date'[Date]),"12/31"))
Last year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year)),"12/31"))
Last to last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-2,Year),"12/31"))
Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))
//Only year vs Year, not a level below

This Year = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year])))
Last Year = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year])-1))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :

@AmyBuk can you share an example, it is not clear what you are trying to do and what is missing?
