Dear friends,
I am working on a measure called 'remainingQuanity' that deducts the [Quantity] from [Inventory Units].
Sample table:
| Index | remainingQuantity | inventoryUnits | Quantity |
| 82078 | 3 | 4 | 1 |
| 82079 | 4 | 4 | -1 |
| 82080 | 3 | 4 | 1 |
| 82081 | 2 | 4 | 1 |
| 82082 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
| 82083 | 0 | 4 | 1 |
| 82084 | -1 | 4 | 1 |
| 82085 | -2 | 4 | 1 |
| 82086 | -3 | 4 | 1 |
| 82087 | -4 | 4 | 1 |
Once the [remainingUnits] becomes 0 it should use 0 instead of the calculation:
It's sound so easy, but what's the right dax?
Thank you

Hi @Powerwoman ,
ok, update:
I need this calculation to be done by item no.
Is that possible?
| Index | Item_No | inventoryUnits | Quantity |
| 82078 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82079 | 048454 | 4 | -1 |
| 82080 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82081 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82082 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82083 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82084 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82085 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82086 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82087 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82088 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82089 | 999999 | 4 | -1 |
| 82090 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82091 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82092 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82093 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82094 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82095 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82096 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82097 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
Hi @Powerwoman
Another method, as calculated column
Hi @talespin,
this works fine, thank you.
Can it be done by item no as well?
| Index | Item_No | inventoryUnits | Quantity |
| 82078 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82079 | 048454 | 4 | -1 |
| 82080 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82081 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82082 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82083 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82084 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82085 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82086 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82087 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82088 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82089 | 999999 | 4 | -1 |
| 82090 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82091 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82092 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82093 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82094 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82095 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |

Hi @Powerwoman ,
Hi @talespin
Thanks for your solution.
The only 'bad' thing was that it killed my Power BI desktop because the original table had 90.000 rows.
My solution to this:
Different calculation of the 'running Total'
var _runningTotalQuantity =
sumx(
FILTER(
all(table),
table[Item_No] = EARLIER(table[Item_No]) &&
table[Index] <= EARLIER(table[Index])
),
table[Quantity]
)
hi @Powerwoman
90,000 shouldn't be a problem, if possible please share pbix file, removing any sensitive data.
Hi @talespin ,
great! That would be item no & index.
The table is already sorted this way.
Can it be grouped by item no and sorted by index?
Expertise = List.Accumulate( {Days as from Today}, {Skills and Knowledge}, (Current, Everyday) => Current & Day.LearnAndPractise(Everyday) ) |
Hi @ThxAlot ,
it seems like this is working.
Can it be done by item no as well?
| Index | Item_No | inventoryUnits | Quantity |
| 82078 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82079 | 048454 | 4 | -1 |
| 82080 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82081 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82082 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82083 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82084 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82085 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82086 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82087 | 048454 | 4 | 1 |
| 82088 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82089 | 999999 | 4 | -1 |
| 82090 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82091 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82092 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82093 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82094 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82095 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82096 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
| 82097 | 999999 | 4 | 1 |
@Powerwoman , Try using below method
RemainingQuantity =
CALCULATE(
SUMX(
FILTER(
ALL('YourTable'),
'YourTable'[Index] <= MAX('YourTable'[Index])
),
'YourTable'[Quantity]
),
FILTER(
ALL('YourTable'),
'YourTable'[Index] <= MAX('YourTable'[Index])
)
)
Please accept as solution and give kudos if it helps
