Historical Daily calculations based on dynamic fields
Are you maybe using Power BI for something it was not designed for? Don't you have an inventory management system in your company?
I see what you are saying, but unfortunately we do not in the context of what you are talking about. I have no access to the backend of this database and only can pull data from it. The department I am working with wants to track on a daily basis the percentage of orders are shipped with the denominator being inventory held over from previous day plus incoming orders that day.
Since all orders for purpose of calculation are filtered by a date column, I was trying to figure a way to have an order be counted each day between received and shipped date. Example: if an order was received on 5/5(ReceivedDate column) and then ships on 5/8 (shippeddate column), I would need the measure or measure and calc column account for 5/6 and 5/7 in inventory but not specifically designated by a date column.
hope that makes sense. Believe me, I understand that 1. This data source and the process as a whole is nowhere near ideal, but it is what I have to work worth. 2. That this may not be possible. I have calculated the metric for in house currently and orders shipped today, but unsure of historical time related metrics in this situation.
