I want to analyze our purchase orders and check it against the inventory audit log to analyze the inventory levels for that date. I have attached my file with sample data and details. The main issue is the audit table only records changes so when using a calendar table, it is not aligning with all audit dates so I need to find the qty of the previous date recorded for that product and warehouse.

For your question, here is the method I provided:
Create measures.
Project Number =
CALCULATE(
MAX('Purchase Orders'[Project Number]),
FILTER(
ALL('Purchase Orders'),
'Purchase Orders'[Date Purchased] = MAX('Purchase Orders'[Date Purchased])
)
)
Qty On Hand =
var _date = SELECTEDVALUE('Purchase Orders'[Date Purchased])
var _maxdate =
CALCULATE(
MAX('Inventory Audit GROUPED'[Date]),
FILTER(
ALL('Inventory Audit GROUPED'),
'Inventory Audit GROUPED'[Date] <= _date
&&
'Inventory Audit GROUPED'[Warehouse] = SELECTEDVALUE('Purchase Orders'[Warehouse])
)
)
RETURN
CALCULATE(
SELECTEDVALUE('Inventory Audit GROUPED'[Qty On Hand]),
FILTER(
ALL('Inventory Audit GROUPED'),
'Inventory Audit GROUPED'[Date] = _maxdate
)
)
Here is the result.
