Use January as target

[tanat_inc]

Hi community, 

My company decided to use Jauary 2020 as Target. We aim to make every month revenue reach the same level as it was on Janurary 2020. I have two problems regarding this issue to consult :

1. The way I wrote meause with DateAdd(), it's provide the same variation of revenue on daily basic.
>> I want this target to be flat 5.14 Million per day , not vary daily as the true sale on January.

2. When I select period more than one month , Target does not increased further than 159.55 Million.

>> I expects that if I select two month period, target should return 2 * 159.55 Million.

Measure I wrote = target  (in measure talbe) :

target =

VAR today_day = DAY(MAX(d_date[Date]))

VAR today_month = MONTH(MAX(d_date[date]))

VAR today_year = YEAR(MAX(d_date[Date]))

VAR month_diff = (-1 * (today_month - 1)) + ((2020-today_year) * 12)

RETURN

CALCULATE([Total Revenue],

DATEADD('d_date'[Date],month_diff,MONTH),

d_date[day] <= today_day,

d_date[month_no] = 1,

d_date[year] = 2020

Dummy data et found in link below :

ps: sorry for repost since I have no time to create simplified dummy data set earlier;

Hi @tanat_inc ,

You said 5.14 is average revenue of Jnauary 2020, but how to get it? Based on my test, the result I got is 5.35M

Avg of 2020-01 = CALCULATE(SUM(bill_info[net_amt]) / DISTINCTCOUNT('bill_info'[bill_date]),FILTER('bill_info',YEAR([bill_date])=2020 && MONTH([bill_date])=1))

 Could you please tell me more details?

Best Regards,
Eyelyn Qin

For #1, can you clarify if you want the TARGET to be same as the 1 Jan 2020 always? Or do you want to display a constant value of  5.14 Million per day?



For #2, you can get the desired result using Summarize and SUMX as below.

TargetSum =
SUMX(

SUMMARIZE( d_date,

d_date[year_month],

"TargetTotal", [target]

),

[TargetTotal]

)

Thanks for your time, and sorry for unclear explanation/

5.14 is average revenue of Jnauary 2020, no a constant. Also if it's calculated from avarage, it should be able to filtered to show target of each department.
