    Here's an example you can adapt to your model. It evaluates the IF statement on a yearly basis. If you need it to evaluate at the day level, change "Year" to "Date".

     

    calc = 
SUMX (
    VALUES ( DateTable[Year] ),
    IF ( DateTable[Year] >= 2024, [USD_AP] - [USD_FC], [USD_AP] )
)

     

    Replace the hardcoded "2024" with the correct expression. I'm not sure what your table "A" is and how it's related to your model. The measure USD_AP has an incorrect total in your screenshot.

Anonymous,

 

Try this measure. It iterates DateTable, so totals will be the sum of parts. Not sure if you need MAX for A[Closed_Date] since this may depend on your business logic.

 

calc =
SUMX (
    DateTable,
    IF ( DateTable[Exp_Dates] >= A[Closed_Date], [USD_AP] - [USD_FC], [USD_AP] )
)

 

Excellent article on totals:

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately this provides completely different results for me altogether.

    Are you able to provide sample data (table format or pbix link), screenshots of your model, and business logic?

      So I have two measures which work fine: USD_AP and USD_FC

       

      Then I have my condition where basically when 2023, then use USD_AP and when 2024 then use USD_AP-USD_FC.

       

      But for some reason once I do this IF statement the sum gets completely messed up eventhough the individual underlying measures work perfectly.
