    Hi deniseg ,

     

    'Month Year Date'[Date] is the date column of a marked date table. And Try the following formula:

     

    Average Receivables = 
CALCULATE(
    AVERAGE('AR v AP Database'[Amount]),
    DATESINPERIOD( 'Month Year Date'[Date], LASTDATE('AR v AP Database'[Date]), -2, MONTH ), 
    FILTER(
        ALL('AR v AP Database'),
        'AR v AP Database'[AR v AP] = "AR"
    ),
    GROUPBY('AR v AP Database','AR v AP Database'[AR v AP])
)

     

     

    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.

    Best Regards,

a / b * c is not equal to a / (b * c). Your formula is syntactically invalid on top of that...

 

Debtor Days = (Average Receivables in a Period) / (Revenue of current month * Number of Days in the Period.

 

What's more, everything should be relative to the period. What does 'Revenue of current month' do in there?
