Need Help with time intelligence

Hi all,

 

in a project cost analysis data model I'm calculating the money spent in the measure [CashOUT] which sums up 3 measures which calculate the CashOUT from 3 different tables. All 3 tables have a relationship with the Date table through the CashOUT Date columns.

 

Each Project has a Start Date represented by the measure [SelectedNTP]. For several projects, money has been spent already prior to their start date (NTP).  Please see below a chart showing the [CashOUT] measure and running total of the CashOUT for a specific project.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now i would like to move any CashOUT occured prior to the NTP date, to the NTP date while not affecting any CashOUT occured after the NTP date. I could solve the matter with 3x calculated columns in each CashOUT table which moves any CashOUT date which is prior to NTP, to the NTP and then using those columns for the relationships with the Date table, but I would like to solve the matter withthout the addition of columns and relationsships.

 

Any help for this?

 

Best regards

      I'm trying the follwing code which, according to my understanding should reflect the concept of DATEADD , but its not working at all.

       

      InvCashOUTEUR = 
VAR _NTP = [SelectedNTP] -- Start date project
VAR _CashOUT = [PurmICashOUTEUR] + [Mod770ValueEUR] + [PInvCashOUTEUR] 
VAR _T1 =
    TREATAS ( 
        SELECTCOLUMNS ( 
            CALCULATETABLE(
                DISTINCT ( 'Date'[Date] )
             ),
            "Date", IF ( 'Date'[Date] < _NTP, _NTP, 'Date'[Date] )
        ),
        'Date'[Date]
    )
VAR _Result = 
    CALCULATE ( 
        _CashOUT,
        _T1
    )
RETURN
    _Result

        Hi ITManuel ，

        It's a little difficult to find the cause of problem base on current information. Could you please provide some sample data involved in your visual (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples? By the way, Is there any relationship created between the Date table and your actual table? It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.
