In and out-flow from money. Create difference and aggregate value by month.

Hi sven7,

My error mixup two different solutions I was working on.

Create the relationship between both tables and then add this measure:

Balance = 
 TOTALYTD(SUM(Money_In_Out[Amount received])-SUM(Money_In_Out[Amount taken]),'Calendar'[Date])

The other formula  without links was to make it month on month no matter the Year so the balence from december would go to January

In that case you need to use the formula:

Balance_1 = 
var dimdate = MAX('Calendar'[Date]) 
return
CALCULATE(SUM(Money_In_Out[Amount received])-SUM(Money_In_Out[Amount taken]),Money_In_Out[Date] <= dimdate)

and don't connet the tables.

Thanks MFelix, it is getting closer. 

I can see the difference for each month now, but still there is no rolling value. When I try to use the month column from the calendar table it gives me an error that it cannot be displayed. 

Thanks again.

If you are using the first measure YTD create a relationship between the two tables.

MFelix This also works now with the connection to the other table and using the balance formula. However, it gives me the same picture again that it does not show the rolling value. I could only link the date between the tables not the month, following error:

Thanks Sven

Yes, I tried that but that does not work. It only shows me the difference by month and no rolling value.

I also tried this from 

http://www.daxpatterns.com/cumulative-total/

but same graph is shown. Can it be because of my calendar or any other formatting issues maybe?

Cumulative Quantity :=
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Transactions[Quantity] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Date'[Date] ),
        'Date'[Date] <= MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
    )
)

MFelix Thank you so much for help, I really appreciate your help. Unfortunately still the same issue. I have got the YTD formula, I have set the calendar, I have linked the dates from the logs file and calendar and as the visual I have selected the dates from the calendar.

Hi sven7,

I have used your data and produced this two models below one with the YTD values and another with the calculated values as you can see both make the same result. so total YTD values sum up to total year, on the second table the rollup goes trough 2018.

Can you send a print with the measures and table to check the values please.

Regards,

MFelix

MFelix Thank you for your patience. I do not know where I make my mistake, I have used just some simple data to reproduce your table, but still the same issue. Please see here. 

Hope we can find my mistake. BR Sven

MFelix What a stupid mistake... All working now, thank you very much. 

It really helps to visualize our data. Thanks
