Request for help with DAX measure

Hi everyone,

 

I am having issues calculating a SUMX with a filter > 0 on a measure that is also being affected by period selection. Data model is a nice star schema with a Fact table where all the measures are coming from. I have a relative Period/Date slicer (coming from my Date table / Calendar Dimension) and three measures: a (running) Balance, which calculates the balance per day. Then we have an Allowed Balance (which is calculated dynamically based on the Period selection in my slicer), which has the following code:

Average allowed balance = CALCULATE([Allowed balance], ALLSELECTED(dim_date))

 

I use ALLSELECTED to get a desired average per period selection, so the number is not affected by the row context of the Date (days) in the visual. But [Allowed balance] is affected by the no. of days that are selected): Allowed balance = [IncomingItems]*[Norm]/[No. of days]

Then I have another measure which has this code:

Daily Balance Difference (DBD) = [Balance (at the end of the period)]-[Average allowed balance]

All well so far, it all works. But now I need to get a SUM of the DBD of all numbers higher then 0 (where i want to use SUMX in combination with FILTER, iterating over the Date table). When I apply the filter on the visual, the Average allowed balance recalculates, leaving me with the wrong values:

The main problem for me is that the measures need to work with the Periode/Date slicer, so i cannot use ALL(), but I am not sure how to proceed here. I just want the 'slice' the results without changing the values on Average allowed balance, but how?

 

(Sorry, no pbix example, it contains customer data).

Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

Hi @Tamerlaaane ,

Please try this measure.

Measure = 
SUMX (
    FILTER (
        SUMMARIZE (
            'dim_date',
            'dim_date'[Date],
            "DBD", [Balance (at the end of the period)] - [Average allowed balance]
        ),
        [DBD] > 0
    ),
    [DBD]
)
