Previous Month balance based on Closed Date

KW123 — Mon, 14 Nov 2022 19:36:12 GMT

Hi,

I have a list of customer ID's with closed accounts. The data is organized by report month and I have columns with the customer ID, their account number, the account open date, the account closed date, and the current account balance (which is $0 because the account is closed)

I need to find out what the account balance was the month prior to the account closing. I am having a hard time finding the previous month that each customer closed their account because each row is a different date. Additionally, the current balance is attached to the report month. So if I filter the entire report by the report month, it will show the balances for that filtered month, not necessarily the closed month which is what I am looking for.

Lets say the report is filtered by report month November. This means that all current balances are 0.
What I am looking to get

	Account Number	Open Date	Closed Date	Current balance (Based on report Month)	What I am looking to get: Previous Closed Month	What I am looking to get: Previous Closed Month Balance
1	555	02/03/2020	02/10/2022	$0.00	01/10/2022	xxx
2	556	10/09/2019	05/21/2021	$0.00	04/21/2021	xxx
3	557	03/20/2009	06/12/2020	$0.00	05/12/2020	xxx
4	558	03/25/2019	05/08/2022	$0.00	04/08/2022	xxx
5	559	12/18/2020	08/09/2021	$0.00	07/09/2021	xxx
6	560	04/21/1995	06/04/2000	$0.00	05/04/2000	xxx
7	561	12/05/2001	07/08/2022	$0.00	06/08/2022	xxx
8	562	10/19/2020	02/09/2021	$0.00	01/09/2021	xxx
9	563	01/10/2000	03/04/2022	$0.00	02/04/2022	xxx

KW123 , Join both the dates with a date of a date table, Assume close date have inactive join

You need a measure like

calculate( calculate( SUM(Table[Amount]),USERELATIONSHIP ('Sales'[CreateDate], 'Date'[Date])),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,month)) )

calculate( calculate( SUM(Table[Amount]),USERELATIONSHIP ('Sales'[CreateDate], 'Date'[Date])),previousmonth('Date'[Date]))

Time Intelligence, DATESMTD, DATESQTD, DATESYTD, Week On Week, Week Till Date, Custom Period on Period,

Hi amitchandak

Thanks so much for your reply. I used the first DAX measure:

Measure 2 = calculate( calculate( SUM(Query1[CurrentBalance]),USERELATIONSHIP ('Query1'[ClosedDate], 'Dates'[Date])),DATESMTD(dateadd('Dates'[Date],-1,month)) )

And my column is giving me $0 for anyone with a closed date in October. For everyone else, it's giving me blanks.

I think the reason why is that the current balance is based on the report month which is currently set to November. What I need to do is get the Current balance for the month before the closed date.

Here is how the data is set up:

Hi KW123 ,

If you want to get the Current balance for the month before the closed date, you can create a measure like the following shows:

last value = MAXX(FILTER(ALL('table'),eomonth('Table'[closed date],0)=EOMONTH(max('Table'[closed date]),-1)),'Table'[current value])

Then you can get the current value corresponding to the month on the closing date,Attached is a picture for your reference for comparison.

You can also refer to my pbix file for better understanding.

Thank you for taking the time to reply! I tired the measure but it took a very long time to load and eventually there just wasn't enough memory to complete it.

Looking at your example though, I am not sure that this is what I will need. If we assume that the Sum of Index is a customer ID, it looks as though the DAX will return the previous value of a different customer ID.

What I need to do is return the last value of the same customer ID. In the Data set up screenshot I took, that is for one customer ID, not multiple. In my report, I will have all customer ID. I hope that makes sense.

Hi KW123 ，

Can you show me the desired result you need, preferably in the form of a table expressing what you need to achieve, as my screenshot shows?
