3. Create a Measure, here is the DAX:

 

FIELD =

VAR _a =

    SWITCH (

        MAX ( [Periodicity] ),

        "Monthly", 1,

        "Quarterly", 3,

        "Semiannual", 2,

        12

    )

VAR _b =

    SWITCH (

        MAX ( [Periodicity] ),

        "Monthly", 12,

        "Quarterly", 4,

        "Semiannual", 2,

        1

    )

VAR _r =

    RATE (

        DIVIDE ( MAX ( [Duration] ), _a ),

        MAX ( [Base] ) * MAX ( [COEFF] ),

        - MAX ( [Base] ),

        MAX ( [Residual Value] ),

        MAX ( [Arrear ->0 / Advance -> 1] )

    )

RETURN

IF ( ISBLANK ( MAX ( [COEFF] ) ), 0, _b * _r )

4. Change the format of the measure
