    You can create the file and load it to DropBox or OneDrive.  I need to understand what are all the tables involved and how they are joined so your sample .pbix should replicate the real structure.

     

    You use the excel file to create the dummy data then load it to your sample .pbix, join the tables and share that file.

     

    For example, my questions from your screen shot are

    1. Does the week field come from the date table?

    2. Does the date table join to the receivables table on the invoice date or due date field?

     

    This measure gives me the result you are asking for assuming the date table is joined on the due date.

    Invoice Amount = SUM ( receivables[amount] )
    Balance2 = 
VAR _LastDate = LASTDATE ( Dates[Date] )
VAR _FirstDate = FIRSTDATE ( Dates[Date] )
RETURN
IF ( NOT ISBLANK ( [Invoice Amount] ),
    IF (
        TODAY () >= _FirstDate && TODAY () <= _LastDate,
        CALCULATE ( [Invoice Amount] , ALL ( receivables ) , Dates[Date] <= _LastDate ),
        IF ( _LastDate > TODAY (), [Invoice Amount] )
    )
)

     

    If you replicate your model in a sample .pbix I would understand the structure and it would help me answer your question without going back and forth multiple times.

This is a measure and if you want older dates blank it would be like this.

Balance = 
VAR _LastDate = MAX ( receivables[Due Date] )
RETURN
IF ( _LastDate < TODAY(), BLANK(),
IF ( _LastDate > TODAY(), SUM ( receivables[Amount] ),
CALCULATE( SUM(receivables[Amount]), ALL(receivables[Invoice]) , receivables[Due Date] <= _LastDate) ) )

jdbuchanan71  it's almost working 🙂

 

I'm running the overview by week and see that the historical sum is not working correct. 

Below a screen shot. "Weeknummer" = Week, "amount" is receivables, deb2 is your measure.

    Where are you getting the week number, do you have a date table you are using?  You would have to change the measure to reference the date table if so.

        Can you share your .pbix so I am not guessing at the structure?
