Getting max date from date filter using DAX measure but ignoring in matrix calculated column

 
Hi,
I am using Direct Query
I am trying to create a Matrix to display financial report. My matrix should show,
Row: Account code
Value: Amount
Column: Beginning balance ( balance of prior years based on date selected in date filter), Current year balance should be expanded with company codes, hierarchy with department code. (Pasted below... I hidded the names but i need to show like this)

Problem is when I select any date from previous year.. I am only seeing beginning balance column. I think my calculated column is not capturing the Post Date from filter. 

 

Year Category =
VAR SelectedYear YEAR(MAX('GL'[Post_Date]))

RETURN
    SWITCH(
        TRUE(),
        YEAR(GL[Post_Date]) = SelectedYear, 'GL'[Company_Code] &" - "& 'GL'[Company_Name],
        YEAR(GL[Post_Date]) < SelectedYear, "Beginning balance",
        BLANK()
    )
 
can you tell me how can I achive showing beginning balance and current balance based on user date selection?

@Moushmi , You need build balances using cumulative method. If the day is driver then you can have like 

 

BOP= CALCULATE(SUM(Table[IN]),filter(all(date),date[date] <min(date[date]))) -
CALCULATE(SUM(Table[OUT]),filter(all(date),date[date] <min(date[date])))

 

same way I can use Year of FY (Numeric)

BOP= CALCULATE(SUM(Table[IN]),filter(all(date),date[Year] <min(date[Year]))) -
CALCULATE(SUM(Table[OUT]),filter(all(date),date[Year] <min(date[Year])))

 

Same way End of period is 

 

EOP= CALCULATE(SUM(Table[In]),filter(all(date),date[date] <=Max(date[date]))) -
CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Out]),filter(all(date),date[date] <= Max(date[date])))

Hey, by this method I can only show previous year and current year. I want to show beginning balance which will have data for years prior to current year. for eg. if selected date in slicer is 06/30/2025 my beginning balance should show sum of amount for years 2024, 2023, 2022,....

 

Also, I don't want my current year to just be current year in the column lable. It needs to be company codes in the column to display current year balance.

Hi, @Moushmi ,
well, i would scratch your calculated column as it's column and static, so it can'T really work dynamically in report upon selection.

 

And just use this (as a measure) for current year and previous year.

 

YTD = TOTALYTD ( [measure], 'calendar'[Date] )

YTD PY =
CALCULATE (
    [YTD],
    SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'calendar'[Date] )
)
