Please can anyone help!    I am trying to build a PowerBI report to sit on top of a job estimation system.   I have this table which shows a history of the jobs (IssueID) that have been estimated...

    I added a measure into original table 'Original Estimate History'

    Measure Sum Estimated = 
VAR _lastDateTable = 
                    ADDCOLUMNS(
                    SUMMARIZE(
                        FILTER(
                            ALL('Original Estimate History'), 
                            'Original Estimate History'[DateModified] <= SELECTEDVALUE('Original Estimate History'[DateModified]) ),
                            'Original Estimate History'[IssueID],
                        "LastDate",
                        MAX('Original Estimate History'[DateModified])
                    ),
                    "EstimatedToDate",
                    CALCULATE(MAX('Original Estimate History'[OriginalEstimate]),'Original Estimate History'[IssueID]=EARLIER([IssueID]), 'Original Estimate History'[DateModified]=EARLIER([LastDate])))
RETURN
CALCULATE(SUMX(_lastDateTable, [EstimatedToDate]))

     

    then created a visual

Hoping you can help me take this further forward az38 !

 

I now have these overall tables

1) Planning Details - for each item we plan to deliver we have a Planned Start date and Planned end date

2) Planning Calendar - for each row in Planning Details there are rows in this table for each date between Planned Start and Planned End

3) Remaining Estimate Changes - the original table for which the measure you gave me has been applied and which I'm happy is correct 🙂

What I ultimately need to have the Planning Calendar showing the Remaining Estimated Hours per day  between Planned Start and Planned End e.g. for HIGHLANDER-3837 which runes from 02 March 2020 thru to 29 May 2020z...

 

DateRemaining Estimated Hours As At Date
02 March 20200
...all dates inbetween0
17 March 202015
...all dates inbetween15
26 March 2020195
...all dates inbetween195
01 April 2020225
...all dates inbetween225
29 May 2020225

    measure in your Calendar table could look smth like

    Remaining Estimated Hours As At Date = 
var _date = CALCULATE(MAX('Remaining Estimate Changes'[DateModified]),  <= 'Remaining Estimate Changes'[DateModified] <= SELECTEDVALUE('Planning Calendar'[Date]) )

RETURN
CALCULATE(MAX('Remaining Estimate Changes'[Sum RemainingEstimatedHours]), 'Remaining Estimate Changes'[DateModified] = _date)

    but it should be checked on your data model

    try MAXX()

    Remaining Estimated Hours As At Date = 
var _date = CALCULATE(MAX('Remaining Estimate Changes'[DateModified]),  <= 'Remaining Estimate Changes'[DateModified] <= SELECTEDVALUE('Planning Calendar'[Date]) )

RETURN
CALCULATE(MAXX('Remaining Estimate Changes', 'Remaining Estimate Changes'[Sum RemainingEstimatedHours]), 'Remaining Estimate Changes'[DateModified] = _date)

    sorry, it takes a long time as i have no possibility to debug by myself

    Remaining Estimated Hours As At Date = 
var _date = CALCULATE(MAX('Remaining Estimate Changes'[DateModified]),  FILTER(ALL('Remaining Estimate Changes'), 'Remaining Estimate Changes'[DateModified] <= SELECTEDVALUE('Planning Calendar'[Date])) )

RETURN
CALCULATE(MAXX('Remaining Estimate Changes', 'Remaining Estimate Changes'[Sum RemainingEstimatedHours]), 'Remaining Estimate Changes'[DateModified] = _date)

    Thanks, it compiles without error but the results are not what I'd expect....

    1) shows the new measure

    try SUMX() not MAXX 

    if it won't help, please, share your pbix-file
