I'm working with debt collection data and I have a problem I hope someone can help resolve. Scenario: When there are several missed payments and a collection is made, it is applied to the oldest missed payment(s). For instance, if there are missed payments in Jan, Feb, Mar and April, ($500 each month, cumulative $2000) and a payment is made in April (e.g.$1000), that payment is applied to Jan ($500) and Feb ($500). If the total missedpayment is made ($2000), it is applied to Jan, Feb, March and April and the account becomes current. The challenge is that the source data does not have this information and I would like to create a DAX command to that applies the collected amount to the oldest missedpayments. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how? A sample table showing the expected results is included. For this, I'm only working with a fact table and a date table.
Thanks in advance for your insights!

Hi @ayana
Please try creating “CreditedAmount” column with the following DAX:
CreditAmount =
VAR CurrentMissedPaymentID = 'DataTable'[MissedPaymentID]
VAR CumulativeCollectedAmount =
CALCULATE(
SUM('DataTable'[CollectedAmount]),
FILTER(
ALL('DataTable'),
'DataTable'[Month] <= EARLIER('DataTable'[Month])
)
)
VAR PreviousCumulativeMissedPmts =
CALCULATE(
MAX('DataTable'[CumulativeMissedPmts]),
FILTER(
'DataTable',
'DataTable'[MissedPaymentID] = CurrentMissedPaymentID - 1
)
)
RETURN
IF(
CumulativeCollectedAmount - 'DataTable'[CumulativeMissedPmts] >= 0,
'DataTable'[MsdPmtAmount],
MAX(0, CumulativeCollectedAmount - PreviousCumulativeMissedPmts)
)
Here is my test result, i hope this can meet your requirement.
