Hello!
I am trying to create a measure that will show cumulative opening stock position in a matrix table but finding it challenging.
The measure should sum the opening stock balance by taking the Opening stock value from the previous month, then use values currently in 2 linked tables :
Add Purchase Order Qty
Subtract Forecast Qty
The starting value for the measure can be a measure 'Current month closing stock' which is a sum of current inventory, + Purchase Order Qty, - Forecast Qty for current month.
| Nov-23 | Dec-23 | Jan-24 | Feb-24 | |
| Current stock | 500 | |||
| Forecast Sales | - 100 | - 100 | - 100 | - 100 |
| Open Orders | + 50 | +50 | + 50 | + 50 |
| Current month Closing stock | 450 | |||
| MEASURE: Opening Stock = (Opening stock value from prev Month) + Open Orders - Forecast Sales | 450 | 400 | 350 |
Many thanks in advance
Hi @nthomson ,
Is that how your data is formatted - there's a separate column for each month? If so you need to unpivot your table first before doing any and create a date equivalent of your months (if they are a text string) before doing any calcuation. Your imported data should look like below:
And for your opening and closing stock measures:
Opening Stock =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Values] ),
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table'[Date], 'Table'[Period] ),
'Table'[Date] < MAX ( 'Table'[Date] )
)
)
Closing stock can be alternatively written as below since it is just cumulative sum of all inventory values.
Closing Stock =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Values] ),
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table'[Date], 'Table'[Period] ),
'Table'[Date] <= MAX ( 'Table'[Date] )
)
)
Please see attached pbix for your reference.
Hi,
I have solved similar problem in the 2 attached PBI files. Please study them and apply those formulas to your dataset.
Hope this helps.
