Opening Balance for each Entity
I have opening balance calculation which currently works on total levels but when I drill down by Entity it's not working correctly (it still shows the total opening balance for all entities).
I think it has to do with the FILTER(ALL()) in my formula but I am not sure how to modify it to allow dinamic change based on the Entity selected.
This is the formula I am using at the moment:
mq2020 , Join transaction day with Date and then use date
Opening Balance =
var mindate =
MIN(Date[Date])
RETURN
CALCULATE(
[Amount £],
FILTER(ALL(Date),Date[Date]<mindate)
)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.amitchandak , thank you so much, all working now.
I tend to have this issue often where I am filtering the dates in the sales table rather than the Calendar table and I never quite understand why it gives me different results.
