Calculating receivable aging dynamically
- Anonymous1 year ago
Thanks for the reply from ajohnso2 and johnt75 , please allow me to provide another insight:
Hi, voidbydefault
Could you please let me know if the responses from ajohnso2 and johnt75 have resolved your issue? If they have, kindly accept their answers as the solution
I share the same views as ajohnso2 and johnt75, and I’ve created examples based on their perspectives to aid your understanding. Below are my sample data:
1.First, ajohnso2's proposal:
This modifies the final step of your approach by adjusting the measures:
xDays Outstanding = DATEDIFF(MAX('data_006_custBal'[Invoice Due Date]), [Aging Cutoff Date], DAY)Here are the final results:
2.Second, johnt75 's proposal:
Firstly, create the following two measures:
Measure 1 = DATEDIFF(MAX('data_006_custBal'[Invoice Due Date]),MAX('data_006_custBal'[Report Date]),DAY)Measure 2 = DATEDIFF(MAX('data_006_custBal'[Invoice Due Date]),TODAY(),DAY)Then, create the parameters:
Rename them accordingly and create the slicer:
Parameter = { ("Report Date", NAMEOF('data_006_custBal'[Measure 1]), 0), ("Today", NAMEOF('data_006_custBal'[Measure 2]), 1) }
Here are the final results:
I hope my explanations help you grasp their proposals. Both solutions are excellent ideas, and I trust you will find them useful.
Please find the attached pbix relevant to the case.

First, thanks to johnt75 , ajohnso2 , and Anonymous for your time in trying to help. In my unique case, I realized I need to calculate invoice aging at row level so I added four columns in my data table as:
Then created a parameter with its slicer:
test_OS_Days = { ("xDays Outstanding from Report Date", NAMEOF('data_006_custBal'[xAging Bucket Report Days]), 0), ("xDays Outstanding from Today", NAMEOF('data_006_custBal'[xAging Bucket Today Days]), 1) }This enabled the functionality I was aiming to achieve.
I think the issue your facing is due to the procedence of element evaluations, e.g. Calculated columns first and then measures, so with that in mind Aging Cutoff Date is not yet evaluated to complete the calculation of xDays Outstanding.
Rewrite it as a measure
xDays Outstanding = DATEDIFF(MAX(data_006_custBal[Due Date]), [Aging Cutoff Date], DAY)
