    CT Balance Last 30 Days =
VAR CurrentDate =
    SELECTEDVALUE (
        'DimDate-InvoiceDate'[Date],
        MAX ( 'DimDate-InvoiceDate'[Date] )
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( OpenARPrepayments[AmountMST] ),
        FILTER (
            OpenARPrepayments,
            OpenARPrepayments[DueDate] < CurrentDate
                && OpenARPrepayments[DueDate] > CurrentDate - 30
        )
    )

What if the situation requires the filter to be "CurrentDate - 1 Quarter". What can you do then? (different quarter has different number of days)

 

thank you!
