    As always, superb article Chandoo... 🙂

    Just one minor issue:
    While following your steps and replicating this calculator in PowerBI, I found that the Growth Pct Parameters should be set as "Decimal number" not "Whole Number"
    OR
    we have to make corresponding adjustments in the Forecast formulas (i.e. divide by 100) to get accurate results.

      You are right. I used whole number but modified the auto created harvester measure with /100 at end. Sorry I did not mention it in the tutorial.

    Instead of
    [Growth Pct 1 Value]/12
    the monthly rate has to be
    (1+[Growth Pct 1 Value])^(1/12)-1

    It's a slight difference but in 30 years the future value will be $100k less.
