Inventory Forecast Isuue

Hello,

I am currently working on an inventory forecasting project and need some assistance with creating the appropriate DAX formulas in Power BI. Here is the structure of my data:

1. Inventory: This table contains the initial quantity of each product, identified by a Product Code.

2. Master Item: This table includes details for each product, identified by a Product Code.

3. PO (Purchase Orders): This table records inventory additions, identified by Product Code and Date.

4. SC (Supplier Consignments): This table also records inventory additions, identified by Product Code and Date.

5. SO (Sales Orders): This table records inventory deductions, identified by Product Code and Date.

6. BOM (Bill of Materials): This table records inventory deductions, identified by Product Code and Date.

7. Calendar: This table includes Date information for time-based analysis.

I have established relationships between these tables based on Product Code and Date. What I need help with is creating the DAX formulas to calculate the following:

Product Code January   

 

Feb    
 InventoryPO(+)SC(+)SO(-)BOM(-)BalancePO(+)SC(+)SO(-)BOM(-)Balance
AB1011010105520520201015
AB1022051010520510101510

Hi @Anonymous ,

The Table data is shown below:

Please follow these steps:

1.Add index column after grouping

Table.AddIndexColumn([Column],"Index",1)

2.Use the following DAX expression to create a measure

Balance =
VAR _Product_Code =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Product Code] )
VAR _Month =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Month] )
VAR _table =
    SUMMARIZE (
        ALL ( 'Table' ),
        [Product Code],
        [Month],
        "Index", MAX ( 'Table'[Index] ),
        "Column",
            SUM ( 'Table'[Inventory] ) + SUM ( 'Table'[PO] )
                + SUM ( 'Table'[SC] )
                - SUM ( 'Table'[SO] )
                - SUM ( 'Table'[BOM] )
    )
VAR _table2 =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        _table,
        "Column2",
            MAXX (
                FILTER (
                    _table,
                    [Product Code] = EARLIER ( [Product Code] )
                        && [Index]
                            = EARLIER ( [Index] ) - 1
                ),
                [Column]
            )
    )
RETURN
    MAXX (
        FILTER ( _table2, [Product Code] = _Product_Code && [Month] = _Month ),
        [Column] + [Column2]
    )

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you mean that the data is stored in 7 different tables? Can you share simple data or .pbix files without sensitive data?
