End of Day Stock Count

[Anonymous]

Hi all - I have been having some issues calculating an "End Of Day Stock Count" in DAX. (Link below)

I am looking to get a measure to calculate the number of items in stock (Equipment Number) at the end of the day, this has proven to be tricky as some items arrive and dispatch on the same day. also, the logic is that if the item has no Departure Date it is still in stock.

Hope you can help... link to the data is above

Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous 

You can try something like this:

End of day stock count = 
VAR _dateFilterContext =
    IF ( HASONEVALUE ( Calender[Date] ); MIN ( Calender[Date] ); BLANK () )
RETURN
    IF (
        NOT ( ISBLANK ( _dateFilterContext ) );
        CALCULATE(
            DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[EquipmentNumber]);        
            FILTER (
                'Table';
                (
                    ISBLANK ( 'Table'[DepartureDate] )
                        && 'Table'[ArrivalDate] <= _dateFilterContext
                )
                    || ( 'Table'[DepartureDate] > _dateFilterContext
                    && 'Table'[ArrivalDate] <= _dateFilterContext )
            )
        );
        BLANK ()
    )

To get this to work, you need a calendar table. Here is a demo, using your data: report

Thank you, this is just what I needed.

As my dataset is extremely large I had to create a table with just the keys and run the measure from the data in the new table.
