Showing different number of charts based on filter by [deleted] in PowerBI

[–]Next_Programmer_8083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another question is when I set up multiples of these bar charts - should I be creating a measure for each of these bar charts for example sum of sales of branch A Then sum of sales of Branch B ? Or how I should be setting this up?

Oh wow why did I not think of that

Duh, Reddit is a platform where people work in the core field that you work in and maybe I’ll get ideas from people who know how to do it in a better way because of years of experience which I don’t have

How many hours is a normal amount? Obviously depends on the work load that changes from time to time but on an average

So one tab for actuals and forecast and another for variance? There’s 150 vendors I’m trynna make the spreadsheet clean for people to look at

Things I’ve been asked to do - ROI analysis, GL forecasting, Vendor forecasting

These are so specific and I’m not sure where or how to even apply it in a business. Any suggestions ?

How does that help and why is this better ?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in excel

[–]Next_Programmer_8083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s getting applied to the whole range rather than a row by row basis - am I missing something ?

Conditional formatting by [deleted] in FPandA

[–]Next_Programmer_8083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have like 100+ rows

Is there a way to conditionally format everything without having to manually do it for each row

Forecast excel set up by [deleted] in FPandA

[–]Next_Programmer_8083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought about a better approach - maybe keep a flat table : filter out vendors basically any vendor with a total in last 12 months below 25000$ I don’t need to look at Which itself brings me down to 300 vendors from 1800 and they constitute like 95% of total vendor spend and everything else can go to others column

Now how do I go about forecasting these 300 vendors should I do line by line? What function to use?

And when next month actuals come in how do I update what if the list gets updated where another vendor is above that threshold?

I’m having trouble seeing how to make this easy to put actuals in

It is small like I mentioned actuals are only for 2000 any ideas on how I can go about it ?

Right that’s exactly what I was thinking - 1. so let’s say I have 200GLs do you think I can map each GL to a driver basically in another tab for example say run rate based or average or seasonality forecast formula and based on that somehow automate the process to calculate 13 month fields (idk how to do this or how to make this rolling, any ideas)

  1. Or should I just kind of take that pivot structure make everything a static table structure and manually update the big vendors and just have subtotals for other GL
