Distinct Count based on Condition

I have created a table visual there I have a column which is numeric and it is weekyear like 202501,202502,202503 ... Then I have a another columns called in-hand goods and demand  for the respective weekyear. Now I want to create measure how much I have covered. This measure says that my present weekyear,let say 202501 in-hand goods are 4000 and demand for 202502 is 2000 means I can survive next week with my inhand goods and then we will check for next week 202503 demand which is 1500 . So, we still can survive 202503 week also, for 202504 demand is 1000 . Now comes the point where you exhausted with your inhand stock which is 2000+1500+1000 >= 4000.now I want to count the distinct weekyear which is 3  here. Also the safe week means 202503 is the week where we are safe with our goods based on the demand.so,i need to get the sum means 2000+1500 =3500 also. Here 2 variable I need to achieve,Let me know how can I achieve this in dax.

@s_fs First create a measure

Measure to count the distinct weekyears you can cover:

dax
Covered Weeks Count =
VAR CurrentWeek = MAX('Table'[WeekYear])
VAR InHandGoods = MAX('Table'[InHandGoods])
VAR DemandTable =
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[WeekYear] > CurrentWeek
)
VAR CumulativeDemand =
SUMX(
DemandTable,
CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Demand]),
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[WeekYear] <= EARLIER('Table'[WeekYear])
)
)
)
VAR CoveredWeeks =
COUNTROWS(
FILTER(
DemandTable,
CumulativeDemand <= InHandGoods
)
)
RETURN
CoveredWeeks

 

Measure to calculate the sum of the demand for the weeks you can cover:

dax
Covered Demand Sum =
VAR CurrentWeek = MAX('Table'[WeekYear])
VAR InHandGoods = MAX('Table'[InHandGoods])
VAR DemandTable =
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[WeekYear] > CurrentWeek
)
VAR CumulativeDemand =
SUMX(
DemandTable,
CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Demand]),
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[WeekYear] <= EARLIER('Table'[WeekYear])
)
)
)
VAR CoveredDemand =
SUMX(
FILTER(
DemandTable,
CumulativeDemand <= InHandGoods
),
'Table'[Demand]
)
RETURN
CoveredDemand

Hi @bhanu_gautam , 

Thanks for the query, my in hand goods and demand are measures. I believe MAX won't work for measures right??? 

@s_fs , use this it reference measure directly

dax
Covered Weeks Count =
VAR CurrentWeek = MAX('Table'[WeekYear])
VAR InHandGoods = [InHandGoods] -- Reference the measure directly
VAR DemandTable =
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[WeekYear] > CurrentWeek
)
VAR CumulativeDemand =
SUMX(
DemandTable,
CALCULATE(
[Demand], -- Reference the measure directly
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[WeekYear] <= EARLIER('Table'[WeekYear])
)
)
)
VAR CoveredWeeks =
COUNTROWS(
FILTER(
DemandTable,
CumulativeDemand <= InHandGoods
)
)
RETURN
CoveredWeeks

 

dax
Covered Demand Sum =
VAR CurrentWeek = MAX('Table'[WeekYear])
VAR InHandGoods = [InHandGoods] -- Reference the measure directly
VAR DemandTable =
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[WeekYear] > CurrentWeek
)
VAR CumulativeDemand =
SUMX(
DemandTable,
CALCULATE(
[Demand], -- Reference the measure directly
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[WeekYear] <= EARLIER('Table'[WeekYear])
)
)
)
VAR CoveredDemand =
SUMX(
FILTER(
DemandTable,
CumulativeDemand <= InHandGoods
),
[Demand] -- Reference the measure directly
)
RETURN
CoveredDemand
