Hi I'm facing a strange issue with a measure that is not SUMMING totals on the bottom powerpivot row or in power bi and cant figure out why, if anyone could help it would be much appreciated!
1000+ Days:=
VAR
MaxDate = MAX('Allocation Date Dimension'[Date])
VAR BalanceBucketDebits =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Amount - Gross]),
'Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Amount - Gross]>0,
'Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Invoice Due Date]<=(MaxDate-1000),
'Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Allocation Date]<=MaxDate
)
VAR BalanceBucketCredits =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Amount - Gross]),
'Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Amount - Gross]<0,
'Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Draft- Due Date]<=(MaxDate-1),
'Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Allocation Date]<=MaxDate
)
VAR BucketBalance=
BalanceBucketDebits+BalanceBucketCredits
RETURN
ROUND(IF(BucketBalance<0,0,BucketBalance),2)
Strange thing is, if I add row hierarchies sums work fine, and are correct but the total of all rows displays 0. The result should not be 0. Strangely, the follwowing works fine!
1-30 Days:=
VAR MaxDate =
MAX('Allocation Date Dimension'[Date])
VAR CurrentBucketDebits =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Amount - Gross]),
'Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Amount - Gross]>0,
'Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Invoice Due Date]>=(MaxDate-30),
'Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Invoice Due Date]<=(MaxDate-1),
'Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Allocation Date]<=MaxDate )
VAR LastBucketDebitsBalance =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Amount - Gross]),
'Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Amount - Gross]>0,
'AccountsReceivable Ledger'[Invoice Due Date]<=(MaxDate-31),
'Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Allocation Date]<=MaxDate )
VAR Credits =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Amount - Gross]),
'Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Amount - Gross]<0,
'Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Draft- Due Date]<=(MaxDate-1),
'Accounts Receivable Ledger'[Allocation Date]<=MaxDate )
VAR CreditBalanceBF=
IF(LastBucketDebitsBalance+Credits<0,LastBucketDebitsBalance+Credits,0)
RETURN
ROUND(IF( CurrentBucketDebits+CreditBalanceBF<0, 0, CurrentBucketDebits+CreditBalanceBF ),2)
Whats the difference??
Hi @dimitrishuk,
Due to I could not reproduce your problem, could you please offer me the pbix file if possible?
Regards,
Daniel He
I'm going to bump up this post, as I think that I provide more information and a pbix for reproducing the issue.
Hi @v-danhe-msft, thanks for your response. Here is a link to the PBIX with the troublesome measure as well as sample data.
