ok thanks for clarifying further. The main challenge here is user data on revenue is usually attributed at time of purchase via product/revenue data capture.

 

You almost would need a 3rd party powerBI like way to do this data insertion and comparison.

 

From what I see likely easiest way to go export data results, use excel to make graphs. APi insertion is possible but that leads to alot of work in other areas.

 

good luck

Dont understand the logic here completely but I assume you are trying to create a metric whereby you trend against a future target number vs present day?

 

Not sure this is exactly what you are after but, if you created a calculated metric against a Dimension KPI.

 

In this case metric is pageviews x exp % change of 15 % increase.

Then you add 2nd calculated dimension vs reg dimension to see deltas.

 

Good luck

Hello! First of all, thank you for your reply.

 

What I need is the following. We are going to launch a Paid Media campaign and I have a revenue forecast type:
Day 1 - 100
Day 2 - 70
Day 3 - 65
Day 4 - 120
Day 5 - 90

 

What I want is to be able to plot this trend on a graph so that I can compare it with the actual result, type:
