HELP!! Add period 0 to calculation without putting it in slicer

Hi everyone,

 

I've been running into a problem for a while now. I am currently working on a financial balance sheet. Currently my dataset consists of the following columns:

 

- Description

- Year_Open

- Period credit (These are the changes to the opening value)

- Period debit (These are the changes to the opening value)

- Period (1 to 12 months)

As can be seen in the photo above, the opening value is not a period, I wanted to give it the period 0. This made me want to create the formula:

 

Period 0 + selected period in slicer.

 

Does anyone know how I can create this formula in DAX? I also have to ensure that the period 0 is not visible in the slicer, how can I do that?

 

However, I am not very good with DAX formulas and so far I have solved it as shown below. Only then will the total not change if I adjust the slicer, even though this is a requirement.

Credit =

VAR PeriodCredit = SUM( 'Balance'[Year_Open]) + SUM('Balance'[Period_Debit]) - SUM('Balance'[Period_Credit])

VAR Scoop = NOT(ISINSCOPE(KPI_EOL_xml_GLAccountClassifications[GLClassification2_description]))

VAR ScoopPeriodCredit = SUM(Balance[YearClosedCredit])

VAR Result = IF(Scoop,ScoopPeriodCredit,IF(PeriodCredit < 0, - PeriodCredit))

Return Result

 

Hopefully someone can help me with this! Thanks!

You can use COALESCE as syntax sugar for the check.
