total by month showing wrong value.

ROG — Tue, 04 Oct 2022 14:09:35 GMT

Hey guys,

I have the table below with the closing base showing the correct value by day, but the total by month is wrong.

It's giving me the average, and for the business logic it should be giving me the last day amount which is 1,172,294.
So for each month the value should be the amount for the last day of the month.
What do I need to do to see the expected value?

Many thanks!

Hi ROG
Please try

Closing Base 2 = SUMX ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Month Name Long] ), [Closing Base] )

Thansk tamerj1 Unfortunately, it's giving me the exact amount I have.

What I need is a dax measure that shows the amount of last date of the month, and not the total for that month.
The result will say how much the business closed the month.

Please try

Closing Base 2 = CALCULATE ( [Closing Base], 'Table'[Month Name Long] = MAX ( 'Table'[Month Name Long] ) )

I used the dax below and it works.

Monthly Closing Month - 30D = CLOSINGBALANCEMONTH([Daily Closing Base - 30D], '🔎Calendar'[Date])
