Converting ending balance using exchange rate based on period selection

Joanne — Thu, 23 Sep 2021 07:09:45 GMT

Hi,

Both Fact_GL and Dim_ExchangeRate comtains multiple MonthEndDate for a type of currency. I want to create a measure where the Rate from Dim_ExchangeRate will be picked up based on Period Selection. The rate will be used to divide the ending balances which is also based on Period Selection (Converted Amount). For example, when May-21 is selected, YTD May-21 numbers will be divided by the May-21 rate and when Jun-21 is selected, YTD Jun-21 numbers will be divided by the Jun-21 rate.

The Final Amount should also include if the Revalue Type in Fact is "Revalue", then take the Converted Amount else Base Amount.

I'm unable to create calculated column as the rate should not be stagnant so a measure is considered.

Data Model

Sample Data

MonthEndDate	Currency	Trans Amount	Base Amount	CurrencyKey	Revalue Type
5/31/2021 0:00	USD	10,000.00	10,000.00	USD^202105	Revalue
5/31/2021 0:00	USD	(120,000.00)	(120,000.00)	USD^202105	Revalue
5/31/2021 0:00	AUD	(50,000.00)	(35,893.76)	AUD^202105	Revalue
5/31/2021 0:00	AUD	(80,000.00)	(53,404.54)	AUD^202105	Non-revalue
5/31/2021 0:00	NZD	(200,000.00)	(124,533.17)	NZD^202105	Revalue
6/30/2021 0:00	AUD	(5,000.00)	(3,448.28)	AUD^202106	Revalue
6/30/2021 0:00	NZD	(30,000.00)	(18,181.82)	NZD^202106	Revalue
		(475,000.00)	(345,461.56)

Final Amount for each row in Fact based on period selection:

May	May Rate	Jun	Jun Rate
10,000.00	1.000	10,000.00	1.000
(120,000.00)	1.000	(120,000.00)	1.000
(38,729.67)	1.291	(37,907.51)	1.319
(53,404.54)		(53,404.54)
(146,092.04)	1.369	(141,242.94)	1.416
		(3,790.75)	1.319
		(21,186.44)	1.416
(348,226.25)		(367,532.18)

Dim_ExchangeRate

Currency	MonthEndDate	Rate	CurrencyKey
AUD	5/31/2021 0:00	1.291	AUD^202105
NZD	5/31/2021 0:00	1.369	NZD^202105
USD	5/31/2021 0:00	1	USD^202105
AUD	6/30/2021 0:00	1.319	AUD^202106
NZD	6/30/2021 0:00	1.416	NZD^202106
USD	6/30/2021 0:00	1	USD^202106

I appreciate any help. Thanks!

Joanne Maybe:

Measure = VAR __MonthEndDate = MAX('Dim_Calendar'[MonthEndDate]) VAR __CurrencyKey = MAX('Fact_GL'[CurrencyKey]) VAR __Rate = MAXX(FILTER('Dim_ExchangeRate',[CurrencyKey]=__CurrencyKey && [MonthEndDate]=__MonthEndDate),[Rate]) VAR __BaseAmount = MAX('Fact_GL'[Base Amount]) RETURN __BaseAmount * __Rate

Hi Greg_Deckler, thanks for your reply.

In your measure, "[CurrencyKey] = _CurrencyKey" might not be correct as it will fix the rate for each row in Fact table. What I require is if May-21 period is selected, I need YTD May-21 Trans Amount to be converted using May-21 rate and if Jun-21 period is selected, YTD May-21 + Jun-21 entries will be converted using Jun-21 rate.

Hi Greg_Deckler Link to PBIx: Link

I have applied the suggested measure to my solution. Below are the results:

When May-21 & Jun-21 are selected in different table, the Trans Amount correctly converted using the rate of the selected month.

If Jun-21 is selected, the expected result is YTD Jun-21 balances will be converted using Jun-21 rate as below:

Can you also please help to take a look at the MeasureTotal which is not totalling the rows number?

MeasureTotal =

VAR __Table = SUMMARIZE(Fact_GL,Fact_GL[Currency],Fact_GL[CurrencyKey],Dim_Calendar[MonthEndDate],Fact_GL[Revalue Type],"__Measure",[Measure])

RETURN

SUMX(__Table,[__Measure])

Thank you in advance.
