Formula to pull in previous day balance

[gmasta1129]

Hello,

I am looking to pull the previous run date (second column) USD balance (7th column) if the "if value date/Run date" column is equal to "Y".  

For example, the new column should contain a value of -800,000 (previous day USD balance) in the first row and in the second row a value of 0 since the if statement is equal to "N".  Please note, this should be applied by flex_acct codes as there are many different codes (ex:75104, 75015) on the report (first column)

Also, this report runs 5 days a week and therefore does not include weekend dates so it would need to find the previous run date and not previous date.  

Thank you in advance for your help! 🙂

@Anonymous The formula above is pulling all zeros even when there is a balance in the previous day.  

I think the issue is the return formula. 

RETURN IF ( DAY ( cur_rd ) = 1 && cd <> 1, 0, IF ( cur_cd = "N", 0, _val ) )

It is correct in this scenario since the last negative balance was on 8/2 and there was no balance on 10/31

But this scenario has a balance as of 10/31 (previous day) and it is pulling 0 when I should be seeing -3.8 million

Hello @Anonymous , 

Thank you for your help.  

This worked exactly as expected except for one scenario.  If there is a zero balance for a certain run date in a specific flex acct then the flex acct does not pull onto the report.

Therefore the formula is finding the latest balance from the latest run date and pulling that value in.  Can the formula be tweaked where it finds the previous "Run Date" balance and if there is no balance,  then pull in 0? 

For example, in the screenshot below, flex_acct 71513, the USD balance on run date 11/1/2022 is  -8,785.07 but there is no run date for 10/31/2022. The last run date is 10/24/2022 which means the balance as of 10/31/2022 is 0. For our reporting purposes any flex acct with a zero balance does not pull into the report. 

Your formula which is under column "USD Balance (Previous Day)" is pulling in the latest run date balance which is 10/24/2022 of -999,519,51. This is incorrect since the previous day from 11/1/2022 is 10/31/2022.  because the balance is 0 on 10/31, you will not see a line on the report for it.  it does not pull in. I would be expecting to see 0 instead of -991,529.51.

Hi @gmasta1129 ,

Please adjust the measure with below dax formula:

Measure =
VAR cur_rk = [RK]
VAR cur_flexacct =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[flex_acct] )
VAR cur_cd =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[if ValueDaate/Run Date] )
VAR tmp =
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Table' ),
        'Table'[flex_acct] = cur_flexacct
            && [RK] = cur_rk - 1
    )
VAR _val =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[usd_balance] ), tmp )
VAR cur_rd =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Run Date] )
VAR _pre_date =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Run Date] ), tmp )
VAR cd =
    DATEDIFF ( cur_rd, _pre_date, DAY )
RETURN
    IF ( DAY ( cur_rd ) = 1 && cd <> 1, 0, IF ( cur_cd = "N", 0, _val ) )

Hi @gmasta1129 ,

Please try below steps:

1. below is my test table

Table:

2. create measure with below dax formula

RK =
VAR cur_flexacct =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[flex_acct] )
VAR tmp =
    FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[flex_acct] = cur_flexacct )
RETURN
    RANKX ( tmp, CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Run Date] ) ),, ASC, DENSE )

Measure =
VAR cur_rk = [RK]
VAR cur_flexacct =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[flex_acct] )
VAR cur_cd =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[if ValueDaate/Run Date] )
VAR tmp =
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Table' ),
        'Table'[flex_acct] = cur_flexacct
            && [RK] = cur_rk - 1
    )
VAR _val =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[usd_balance] ), tmp )
RETURN
    IF ( cur_cd = "N", 0, _val )

3. add a table visual with fields and measure

I entered your formula and the first row is pulling in -805,000 instead of -800,000.

Please see screenshot below for reference.

Hi @gmasta1129 , 

I don't think I understand your requirements. Here is what I was trying to show:

For example, the new column should contain a value of -800,000 (previous day USD balance) in the first row and in the second row a value of 0 since the if statement is equal to "N".

Hello @djurecicK2,

Thank you for the quick response but I would need the previous day balance to pull into the column.  Threfore 10/31/2022 run date balance of 800,000 should pull into the first row and 0 should pull into the second row.

Hi @gmasta1129 ,

 Here is a way to do that in DAX by creating a new column:

NewBalance = IF('Table'[RunDate]='Table'[ValueDate],'Table'[Balance],0)
