Problem with Total sales calculation - please help

 

Hello everyone
I am having a problem getting the correct sales total.
In the example below, I am calculating the sales total from the beginning of each month to the 10th of the month.

But at the aggregate business unit and year level, and the totals are as for whole months

Hi @LeszekGL ,

 

Based on your description, I created these data.

Create MEASURE.

MEASURE =
VAR _mindate =
    EOMONTH ( MIN ( 'Table'[Date] ), -1 ) + 1
VAR _maxdate =
    EOMONTH ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ), -1 ) + 10
VAR _sum1 =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ),
        'Table'[Date] >= _mindate
            && 'Table'[Date] <= _maxdate
    )
RETURN
    _sum1

 

Measure 2 = 
SUMX('Table',[MEASURE])

 

Measure 3 = 
IF(HASONEVALUE('Table'[Date].[Month]),[MEASURE],[Measure 2])
