been struggling to come up with a measure that calculates the running balance of inventory. Below is a table with the Column 'What i expect" and what i am trying to solve for. it basically takes "sum of on hand" +" Sum of remaining open" - "Sum of Sum of total units" = "What i expect" for December. January then takes the ending balance of December and adds "sum of Remaining Open" - "Sum of Sum of total units" = What i expect.
Year | Month | Sum of On Hand | Sum of Remaining Open | Sum of SUM of Total Units | What I Expect |
2024 | December | 194,212 | 73,788 | 120,424 | |
2025 | January | 50,000 | 68,679 | 101,745 | |
2025 | February | 25,000 | 81,021 | 45,724 | |
2025 | March | 80,000 | 84,099 | 41,625 | |
2025 | April | 50,000 | 91,693 | (68) | |
2025 | May | 25,000 | 144,007 | (119,075) | |
2025 | June | 96,901 | (215,976) | ||
2025 | July | 103,536 | (319,512) | ||
2025 | August | 108,225 | (427,737) | ||
2025 | September | 110,633 | (538,370) | ||
2025 | October | 104,483 | (642,853) | ||
2025 | November | 190,708 | (833,561) |
I created this DAX measure but its not getting the previous months ending total to then be the begining balance of the formula
Year | Month | Sum of On Hand | Sum of Remaining Open | Sum of SUM of Total Units | Projected Inventory |
2024 | December | 194,212 | 73,788 | 120,424 | |
2025 | January | 50,000 | 68,679 | (18,679) | |
2025 | February | 25,000 | 81,021 | (56,021) | |
2025 | March | 80,000 | 84,099 | (4,099) | |
2025 | April | 50,000 | 91,693 | (41,693) | |
2025 | May | 25,000 | 144,007 | (119,007) | |
2025 | June | 96,901 | (96,901) | ||
2025 | July | 103,536 | (103,536) | ||
2025 | August | 108,225 | (108,225) | ||
2025 | September | 110,633 | (110,633) | ||
2025 | October | 104,483 | (104,483) | ||
2025 | November | 190,708 | (190,708) |
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @Pogi_Shane
Thanks for @Kedar_Pande's reply. You can try this dax to achieve your need.
Add all =
VAR _onHand =
SELECTEDVALUE ( Netsuite_Inventory[On Hand] )
VAR _remainingOpen =
SELECTEDVALUE ( Netsuite_Inventory[Remaining Open] )
VAR _units =
SELECTEDVALUE ( Netsuite_Inventory[Sum of SUM of Total Units] )
RETURN
Netsuite_Inventory[On Hand] + Netsuite_Inventory[Remaining Open] - Netsuite_Inventory[Sum of SUM of Total Units]
Cumulative value =
VAR _index =
MAX ( Netsuite_Inventory[Index] )
VAR _ACCUMULATED =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Netsuite_Inventory[Add all] ),
FILTER ( ALL ( Netsuite_Inventory ), Netsuite_Inventory[Index] <= _index )
)
RETURN
_ACCUMULATED

Corrected DAX Measure:
Projected Inventory =
VAR CurrentMonth =
SELECTEDVALUE(Netsuite_Inventory[Month])
VAR CurrentYear =
SELECTEDVALUE(Netsuite_Inventory[Year])
VAR PriorBalance =
CALCULATE(
SUMX(Netsuite_Inventory, Netsuite_Inventory[What I Expect]),
FILTER(
ALL(Netsuite_Inventory),
Netsuite_Inventory[Year] * 12 + Netsuite_Inventory[Month] <
CurrentYear * 12 + CurrentMonth
)
)
VAR OnHand = SUM(Netsuite_Inventory[Sum of On Hand])
VAR RemainingOpen = SUM(Open_PO[Remaining Open])
VAR TotalUnits = SUM(Forecast_Info[SUM of Total Units])
RETURN
IF(
CurrentMonth = "December" && CurrentYear = 2024,
OnHand + RemainingOpen - TotalUnits,
PriorBalance + RemainingOpen - TotalUnits
)
Replace What I Expect with the actual column or calculated measure for prior months.
💌 If this helped, a Kudos 👍 or Solution mark ✅ would be great! 🎉
