    Hi Tomhayw ,

    The project 3 should not be included due to the invoice paid on Feb 07, 2022... Am I right? I created a sample pbix file(see attachment) for you, please check whether that is what you want. You can create a measure as below:

    Measure = 
VAR _year =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date'[Date].[Year] )
VAR _month =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date'[Date].[MonthNo] )
VAR _seledate =
    EOMONTH ( DATE ( _year, _month, 1 ), 0 )
VAR _count =
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Project name] ),
        FILTER (
            'Table',
            'Table'[Invoice sent] < _seledate
                && 'Table'[Invoice paid] > _seledate
                && DATEDIFF ( 'Table'[Invoice sent], _seledate, DAY ) > 30
        )
    )
RETURN
    _count

    Best Regards

Hi Tomhayw ,

Do you want to get a line chart and display the data with the count of the invoices which weren't paid within 30days? In order to get a better understanding on your requirement and give you a suitable solution, could you please provide some raw data in your invoice table (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

    Hi there,

     

    I've attached a screenshot of what the raw data looks like, and what an expected output would look like:

     

    Data:

    In these months, I want to see how many invoices were still outstanding which had >30 days with no invoice paid as of the end of each month

     

    Desired output: 

     

    I hope this provides some clarity on my problem

      Hi Tomhayw ,

      Thanks for your reply. What's the calculation logic? Why it is 1 in Jan, 3 in Feb, 2 in March? Could you please provide the special examples to explain it base on your sample data. Thank you.

      Best Regards

        Essentially what I mean is that if I was to look in Feb-22, how many of those projects had invoices that still weren't paid at the end of the month and where the number of days since invoice sent > 30.

        So for Feb, project 1, 2 and 3 still hadn't been paid by the end of February, and the number of days since the invoice sent to the end of February >30, so you would count those three.
