    Here's the Ready Date as a calculated column in the checklist table

     

    Ready Dt = 
var a = filter('GDU tracking',[Date]>=[Planting Date])
var b = ADDCOLUMNS(a,"c",var d = [Date] return sumx(filter(a,[Date]<=d),[CalculatedGDUs]))
var c = filter(b,[c]<=[GDU required])
return maxx(topn(1,c,[Date],DESC),[Date])

Wow thank you!

I've transferred the measures into my working model and I see that in instances of varieties not yet populated with a planting date, it is summing from the beginning of the CalculatedGDUs column.  What is the best way to not assign Ready Dates to those items?  Would it be in the DAX expression itself or through a Filter on the page/visuals removing null values for planting date?
