Measure calculation based on month slicer

Hi,

 

I have a dataset which contains the outstanding invoices for our customers at the end of each month + the YTD sales at the end of each month: so for January an overview of the outstanding invoices at 31.01.2020 and the YTD sales for january, for february the outstanding invoices at 29.02.2020 and the YTD sales for february.

 

I want to calculate the amount of days outstanding with the following calculation: (open items * month * 30) / YTD sales. 

The month should be based off my selection in a slicer; for January the calculation should be (open items * 1 * 30) / YTD sales, for April it should be (open items * 4 * 30) / YTD sales.

 

Is what i'm asking possible?

 

Below you can find a small sample of my dataset

Thanks for the suggestions, found the solution in the meanwhile.

 

Adding a calculation around the divide formula gave the desired result.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Do you want to calculate the Total open item in selected month / YTD sales.

For example, we select Jan, it will calculate the Total open item in Jan and the Total * 1 * 30, then the vaule / sales in Jan.

Based on your sample data, it will be (340 + 500 + 670 + 800 +920) * 1 *30 / (100 + 200 + 300 +400 + 100 + 200 + 300)

If yes, we can create two measures to meet your requirement.

 

YTD Sales = 
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[ Amount in local currency ]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Category]="Sales"&&'Table'[Month]<=MAX('Table'[Month])))

 

Result = 
var _select = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Month name],"Jan")
var _select_month = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Month]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Month name]=_select))
var _Open = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[ Amount in local currency ]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Category]="Open items")) * _select_month * 30
return
DIVIDE(_Open,[YTD Sales])

 

And put it in a table visual, the result like this.

If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that you have shared?

@Anonymous , Not clear try like

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"),Table[Category] ="Sales")

or

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"),filter(Table,Table[Category] ="Sales"))

 

open items = CALCULATE(Count(Table[Amount]),filter(Table,Table[Category] ="Open Items")) // replace count with sum if needed

 

new measure =divide([open items] * month(max(Table[Posting Date]) )* 30 ,[YTD Sales ])

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :

Appreciate your Kudos.
