Starting of by stating the obvious that I'm new to Power BI and canยดt quite figure out how to make this calculation.
Production monday through friday, 5 working days. Management wants to know how much of what is left to produce each day and divide it by how many working days are left in the week. = ( Planned production per product group / working days left in the week ), i.e.
The reason why I canยดt just make a measure for the planned production on the monday each week and divide it by 5 is because of the planning software makes new calculations each night depending on an algorithm with many parameters.
I do have a calendar table, where I have created StartofWeek and EndofWeek to try to make sense of how many working days are left in a week, but failed with the calculations.
Wished output below:
I have a single product group to make it simple.
| Weekday | Date | Product | Planned production this week | Working days left this week | Planned production per day |
| Monday | 2024-02-12 | A | 100 | 5 | 20 |
| Tuesday | 2024-02-13 | A | 76 | 4 | 19 |
| Wednesday | 2024-02-14 | A | 66 | 3 | 22 |
| Thursday | 2024-02-15 | A | 42 | 2 | 21 |
| Friday | 2024-02-16 | A | 19 | 1 | 19 |
sounds like a standard weighted average pattern. Instead of each working day getting 20 items, some get less but others get more, and the entire week evens out.
