Cumulative Balance and Month-on-Month Values

[AnanthKS]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to create P&L and Balance Sheet from Enterprise Software records - that is, taking the system-dump for a certain time-period using appropriate tcodes, and then utilizing Power BI on the drill-down structure (BS/PL Category-Main Category-Account-SubAccount/etc.).

I have the following simplified main table of transactions for a plant/profit center, showing just 3 GL codes for the year:

 As you can see there's an accumulated balance for the entries.

How do I create a table in Power BI with the following month-on-month values for the year, in the following format?

The calculated table here can be used to make the P&L.

Negative Signs are due to convention used in the ERP. There is only 1 entry per GL in a month of the Financial Year, no duplicates.

How can we create the above calculated table?

Thank you.

Hi @AnanthKS ,

Please try the following calculation column:

Column =
'Table'[Accum.balance]
    - CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Accum.balance] ),
        FILTER (
            'Table',
            'Table'[Date] = EOMONTH ( EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] ), -1 )
                && 'Table'[GL Code] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[GL Code] )
        )
    )

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

Hi, thanks for the reply. However, it seems the formula doesn't work past the first year in the transactions table. I think there must be a check every time a new year/financil year begins?

Please see the screenshot below (I've expanded the trial table now), there's a column called MTMBalance (Month-To-Month) for manual calculation for what should be the answer. CheckBalance is calculated column as per solution posted:

Hope we have a way around this.

                && YEAR ( 'Table'[Date] ) = YEAR (  EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] ) )
                && 'Table'[GL Code] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[GL Code] )
        )
    )

Hi,

Unfortunately that video did not help.

I am trying to find a solution that can give me month-on-month values for all GL codes, for each applicable month. (That is, ome GL codes will appear only in say, month 4 of the FY, and will therefore not feature in months 1 to 3 transactions).

The ERP dumps the accumulated GL balance up to the "reporting period" of the selected FY.  On the other hand, I am trying to build both monthly P&L, and YTD P&L.
