How to calculate growth of initial investment over time

Daily Return  %Growth  
 10000 
0.60710060.769=B2 * ( 1 + A3/100)
0.50210111.373=B3 * ( 1 + A4/100)
0.39910151.813=B4 * ( 1 + A5/100)
-0.70210080.470=B5 * ( 1 + A6/100)

 

Hi ,

I have a column in my dataset with daily return percentage, now I need to create a meausre or caluclated column that starts with $10000 initial investment and calculate the growth based on daily return.

I have attched Excel formulas to show the calculation method. 

Ideally the frmula should respond to fund selection by the user ( slicer ).

Can be done in Power BI?

 

 

Thank you

Very likely, if you could share you Excel file via OneDrive or Box or something that would greatly assist.
