Month 8340
Month 9340
Month 10340
Month 11340

Payment Record

DatePayment

1. How do I make sure that the payment for the month be reflected in the dashboard

2. How do I show that for the payment for month 6 an 11 has not yet been paid fully, as shown below:

1 ACCEPTED SOLUTION

As mentioned, the solution  is solely based on the sample data. If there are multiple payments within the same month, the lookupvalue formula needs to be tweaked and some other calculations as well. Please see attached modified pbix.

Hi @PoewrBIUser ,

 

If you want to achieve what you are expecting, it is a rather tricky one and will require a lot of brain cells.

Below is the closest I could get to.

The solution requires a lot of calculated column and solely based on the provided data. Please see atttached pbix for your reference.

Hello @danextian, thank you for your reply,

 

But I don't see this working for someone who made 2 payments in the same month, are there any other possible solution?
