    I believe the DAX should be something like:

     

    Measure = 
  VAR __Table = 
    ADDCOLUMNS(
      'Table',
      "Selector",(TODAY() - [registration_date_utc]) * 1. - [upfront_days_included]
    )
RETURN
  SUMX(FILTER(__Table,[Selector] >= 30),[Outstanding_balance])

    Hi Greg_Deckler , Anonymous I want to calculate the potfolio at risk which is the outstanding balance for accounts that have been disabled for 30+ days divided by all the outstanding balance of enabled and disabled accounts. When a user register an account, the user will get a minimum of 7 days to use the product before it switches to disabled mode. However, the user will get more than 7 days to use the product if the upfront price is grater than the minimum upfront price. To get an accurate Portfolio at risk, I will have to filter out new accounts because I will not know if they are bad or good customers that is why I needed to do some filtration. Before including an account in my PAR calculation, I need to make sure that the current date minus the registration date minus the upfront days is grater than or equal to 30.

      emmanuelkamara1 - So was my DAX formula correct because:

      "Before including an account in my PAR calculation, I need to make sure that the current date minus the registration date minus the upfront days is grater than or equal to 30."

       

      Unless I'm mistaken, that's what the DAX was doing.

       

      Perhaps we need to backup. Please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490
