Hello,
I have a transaction list with customer names and positive transactions for invoices raised against customers and negative transactions for payments made.
DATE | CUSTOMER | TRANSACTION AMOUNT
2/1 | Customer 3 | -$40
2/1 | Customer 2 | -$30
2/1 | Customer 3 | $60
1/1 | Customer 2 | $30
1/1 | Customer 1 | -$20
1/1 | Customer 1 | $10
I need to know how much was owed by all customers on any given date.
To get any customer's balance on a given date I can sum all transactions to that date. However some customers owe money which will result in a positive balance, and some are in credit which will result in a negative balance.
To get the total owed, I cannot sum all customer transactions to date as it will give me both positive and negitave balances. I only want the positive customer balances (They Owe).
I need a measure to complete the following steps:
1. Calculate each customers balance on each date (some 0, some + and some -). Each customers balance is calculated by summing all transactions (+ & -) to that date.
DATE | CUSTOMER | BALANCE OWED
2/1 | Customer 1 | -$10
2/1 | Customer 2 | $0
2/1 | Customer 3 | $20
1/1 | Customer 1 | -$10
1/1 | Customer 2 | $30
1/1 | Customer 3 | $0
2. DESIRED RESULT: Calculate the total owed by all customers on each date (Sum all positive customer balances for each date, in this instance Customer 1 is filtered out on both dates as they have a negitave balance and therefore do not owe anything).
DATE | TOTAL OWED BY CUSTOMERS
2/1 | $20
1/1 | $30
I want to create a visual to show the total amount owed by customers over time.

I have dax from my attempts to solve this but feel it may actually confuse the description of what I am trying to do. It is in the pbix anyhow. Second attempt at solving this and I have tried to explain it as clearly as po

@Jbradad4x4 , With help from date table create running balance
Cumm TRANSACTION AMOUNT = calculate(Sum(Table[TRANSACTION AMOUNT]), filter(all('Date'), 'Date'[Date]<= Max('Date'[Date])))
Then create a measure like
Customer due
= Sumx(filter(Values(Table[CUSTOMER]), [Cumm TRANSACTION AMOUNT]> 0),[Cumm TRANSACTION AMOUNT])
Sorry, actualy that is not working.
When I graph Customer Due over time, it shows the total of customers with positive values with transactions on that day, not the total of all customers with positive balances.
I used the method of two measures - a sum and a sumx but edited them to the following and it is working now.
Thanks for your help.
Cumm TRANSACTION AMOUNT=
VAR LastVisibleDate =
MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
VAR FirstVisibleDate =
MIN ( 'Date'[Date] )
VAR LastDateWithTrans =
CALCULATE (
MAX ( Table[TransactionDate] ),
REMOVEFILTERS ('Date'[Date])
)
VAR Result =
IF (
FirstVisibleDate <= LastDateWithTrans,
CALCULATE (
sum(Table[TRANSACTION AMOUNT]),
filter(all('Date'[Date]),'Date'[Date] <= LastVisibleDate),
)
)
RETURN
Result
Customer Due =
Calculate(
Sumx(filter(Values(Table[CUSTOMER]), [Cumm TRANSACTION AMOUNT]> 0), [Cumm TRANSACTION AMOUNT]),
filter(ALL('Date'[Date]),'Date'[Date]<= MAX ( 'Date'[Date] ))

This worked thank you, so simple!!!
