RunRate , Forecast using Recursive CTE or UNION ALL

  • I would be grateful if you can help me to calculate the RunRate(forecast) on the following table .

    The run rate will be calculate only on the future months on the field 'im_actual' , and the completed months (Past_Months) the value of 'Im_actual' will be same.

    The field 'int_period' keep Fiscal months , so the completed month are , Apr(1) and May(2) where , June(3) onward are future month where we need to calcuatel ForeCast/RunRaate,

    The completed month we don't need to calcuate and the 'Im_actual' values for completed will be same as exist in the table/field(im_actual) ,

    To calculate the Forecast/RR for future months. it should sum of the completed months so in this case will be i.e. (1 and 2) and divide by 2(last completed month), so the calculate valurs for month (3 to 12) will be constant values.

    Similarly, if I wants to calculate the Fore-cast after the month June(3) completed , the future Forecast will be sum of (month [1 to 3] and divided by 3 and this same/constact values will show for furtre moths 4 to 12..

    The dummy data set script i've copied below

    I've tried using recursive sql and UNION by split into two data set

    1st data set simple where the 'im_actual' value not calculated by using

    Also attached my sample

  • My only question with this is a pretty easy one - should your calculation to calculate the Forecast/RR for future months be per-customer, per Cost_Centre, or only look at the int_period?

    Basically, I am just trying to find the proper way to group it across cost centres and across divisions, or if it even needs to be.  It just changes a small part of the math, not a lot.

    I am also not sure I fully understand the math on this, so doing a "best guess" and hoping I am close or at least pointing you in the right direction.  The code does have a "magic number" in it (getting the current month and subtracting 3), but this is  based on you saying that month 1 is April and DATEPART(month,'01-04-2020') will give me 4 as the month is 4.  So subtracting 3 from the current month will give me a number between -2 and 9 (a 12 digit range).  Later when we do the check, we are adding 12 to it if the value is less than 1 (ie 0 becomes 12, -1 becomes 11 and -2 becomes 10) so we can get the full fiscal year.  So if the current calendar month is January, you would get -2.  Your Fiscal month for January should be 10 (as you have 3 months remaining until year end - January, February and March) so the math here works even if it is not that pretty.

    My current guess as to how to tackle this would be something similar to:

    WITH [sourceData]
    AS
    (
    SELECT
    [int_period]
    , [Division]
    , [Cost_Centre]
    , [im_actual]
    , SUM([im_actual]) OVER (PARTITION BY
    [Cost_Centre]
    ORDER BY [int_period]
    ) AS [RunningAgeTotal]
    , DATEPART( MONTH
    , GETDATE()
    ) - 3 AS [currentFiscal]
    FROM[#Forecast_Test]
    )
    , [ForecastRR]
    AS
    (
    SELECT
    [sourceData].[Cost_Centre]
    , (SUM( CASE
    WHEN [sourceData].[int_period] < CASE
    WHEN [sourceData].[currentFiscal] < 1
    THEN [sourceData].[currentFiscal] + 12
    ELSE [sourceData].[currentFiscal]
    END
    THEN [sourceData].[im_actual]
    ELSE 0
    END
    )
    ) / ([sourceData].[currentFiscal] - 1) AS [forecastRR]
    FROM[sourceData]
    GROUP BY[sourceData].[Cost_Centre]
    , [sourceData].[currentFiscal]
    )
    SELECT
    [sourceData].[int_period]
    , [sourceData].[Division]
    , [sourceData].[Cost_Centre]
    , [sourceData].[im_actual]
    , [sourceData].[RunningAgeTotal]
    , [ForecastRR].[forecastRR]
    , CASE
    WHEN [sourceData].[int_period] < [sourceData].[currentFiscal]
    THEN [sourceData].[im_actual]
    ELSE [ForecastRR].[forecastRR]
    END AS [im_Actual_with_ForecastRR]
    FROM[sourceData]
    JOIN[ForecastRR]
    ON [ForecastRR].[Cost_Centre] = [sourceData].[Cost_Centre];

    Is the above close to what you were looking for?

    If not, could you post a sample of what you expect the output to look like in Excel or similar?  This will help me figure out what you expect vs what I provided.

    The above is all just my opinion on what you should do. 
    As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it.  Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
    I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.
