Time Evolution of Inventory Using DAX

 

I am attempting to create a running evolution of inventory based on demand. The problem is essentially this: I need to create a running log of inventory based on consumption of product as time goes on. . I believe this is easier to accomplish in DAX, but if anyone has a solution in PowerQuery as well, I would be open to hear it.

 

Please refer to the chart I copied and pasted below. Running Inventory is the column I am trying to create. Please make note of the two different part numbers. 

 

DatePart NumberDemand

Current Inventory

(current month)

Running Inventory
7/1/202212350047004200
7/1/20223455001000500
8/1/2022123600 3600
9/1/2022123550 3050
9/1/2022345500 0
10/1/2022123440 2610
11/1/2022123700 1910
12/1/2022123550 1360
1/1/2023123575 785
2/1/2023123600 185

 

 

Any advice would be a great help, thank you!

Hi @jt1999 

Please try this measure .

Measure = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Current Inventory(current month)])- SUM('Table'[Demand]), FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Part Number]=MAX('Table'[Part Number]) && [Date]<=MAX('Table'[Date])))

The result is as shown below .

Running Total =
var maxDate = MAX('Date'[Date])
return CALCULATE( SUMX('Table', 'Table'[Current inventory] - 'Table'[Demand]), 'Table'[Date] <= maxDate )
