Hi,
I need your advice, how to correctly calculate beginning balance in lean amortization schedule.
Therre is my data, wich has interest payment, but there is unusually case - 1st interest payment is currnet amount.
| ID | Start Date | End Date | PV | 1st interest pament | Rate | Freq of payment | Rate in period |
| 111111 | 13.04.2021 | 12.12.2023 | 6001,99 | 61,49 | 0,20489 | 12 | 0,017074167 |
There is may measure for beginning balance, but it does not calculate correct interest payments depending on 1st payment :
Expected result:
| Sequence | Starting Balance | Interest | Principal | Ending Balance |
| 1 | 6001,99259 | 61,49 | 214,07 | 5849,41259 |
| 2 | 5849,41259 | 99,87 | 356,78 | 5592,50259 |
