Sorting the temporary table

‎11-11-2024 12:20 AM

Hello, Trying to calculate XIRR, but the result varies even on the sort order of values.
My DAX to calculate a table, and use it to calculate XIRR is as follows: 
 

visheshvats1_1-1731312927259.png

 

Output is : 

 
visheshvats1_2-1731312975407.png

I wish to order the table in a manner that the output is sorted where for a given date the negative(-) values come first.
Desired output: 

visheshvats1_3-1731313016668.png

Please help, how i can modify my code? Thank you

I managed to sort the dynamic table within my measure. I needed to create a caculated column which has 0 if the sum of Net is zero for a given date for any deal name. Create another column to be 1 if value in this new column is <0 else 2.
Now split into 3 parts and then combine using union function. 

My measure: 

VAR _Table = UNION(
    SELECTCOLUMNS(
        FILTER(
            'General Ledger',
            'General Ledger'[GL Date] >= [MIN Date] &&
            'General Ledger'[GL Date] <= [MAX Date] &&
            'General Ledger'[Trans Type] IN Trantype&&
            'General Ledger'[Column]<>0&&
            'General Ledger'[Index]=1
    ),
        "GL Date", 'General Ledger'[GL Date],
        "Net", 'General Ledger'[Column]    
    ),
    SELECTCOLUMNS(
        FILTER(
            'General Ledger',
            'General Ledger'[GL Date] >= [MIN Date] &&
            'General Ledger'[GL Date] <= [MAX Date] &&
            'General Ledger'[Trans Type] IN Trantype&&
            'General Ledger'[Column]<>0&&
            'General Ledger'[Index]=2
    ),
        "GL Date", 'General Ledger'[GL Date],
        "Net", 'General Ledger'[Column]  
    ),
    ROW(
        "GL Date", [MAX Date],  
        "Net", [Net sheet 1]
       
    ))
RETURN
XIRR(_Table,[Net],[GL Date],-0.1,0)

Hello, My DAX to calculate a table is as follows: 

VAR __Table = UNION(
    SELECTCOLUMNS(
        FILTER(
            'General Ledger',
            'General Ledger'[GL Date] >= [MIN Date] &&
            'General Ledger'[GL Date] <= [MAX Date] &&
            'General Ledger'[Trans Type] IN Trantype
        ),
        "GL Date", 'General Ledger'[GL Date],
        "Net", 'General Ledger'[Credits only]-'General Ledger'[Debits only]
    ),
    ROW(
        "GL Date", [MAX Date],  
        "Net", [Net sheet 1]
    )
)
RETURN
__Table

Output is : 

GL Date                                Net
8/7/2024 12:00:00 AM97643520
8/7/2024 12:00:00 AM-1017120
8/7/2024 12:00:00 AM-96626400
8/8/2024 12:00:00 AM-97643520
9/30/2024 12:00:00 AM103015680

 

I wish to order the table in a manner that the output is sorted where for a given date the negative(-) values come first.
Desired output: 

GL DateNet
8/7/2024-96626400
8/7/2024-1017120
8/7/202497643520
8/8/2024-97643520
9/30/2024103015680

 

Any idea, how i can modify my code? TIA

Hi @visheshvats1 - DAX doesn’t have a direct way to sort a calculated table within the table expression itself. You can add a sorting column to your DAX code to specify the order of rows within the table.

 

Use below code:

VAR __Table =
UNION(
SELECTCOLUMNS(
FILTER(
'General Ledger',
'General Ledger'[GL Date] >= [MIN Date] &&
'General Ledger'[GL Date] <= [MAX Date] &&
'General Ledger'[Trans Type] IN Trantype
),
"GL Date", 'General Ledger'[GL Date],
"Net", 'General Ledger'[Credits only] - 'General Ledger'[Debits only]
),
ROW(
"GL Date", [MAX Date],
"Net", [Net sheet 1]
)
)
VAR __SortedTable =
ADDCOLUMNS(
__Table,
"SortOrder",
RANKX(
__Table,
[GL Date] & IF([Net] < 0, "0", "1") & ABS([Net]),
,
ASC
)
)
RETURN
SELECTCOLUMNS(
TOPN(
COUNTROWS(__SortedTable),
__SortedTable,
[GL Date], ASC,
[SortOrder], ASC
),
"GL Date", [GL Date],
"Net", [Net]
)

 

 

Try the above code, you can get negative values first and remaining as expected in sort order.

You can achieve this by creating a calculated column that assigns a sort order based on the sign of the values. Here’s an example of how you can modify your DAX code:

Create a calculated column to determine the sort order:
SortOrder = IF([Value] < 0, 0, 1)

Sort your table by the date and the new SortOrder column:
SortedTable =
ADDCOLUMNS(
YourTable,
"SortOrder", IF([Value] < 0, 0, 1)
)

Use the SortedTable to calculate XIRR:
XIRRResult =
XIRR(
ADDCOLUMNS(
YourTable,
"SortOrder", IF([Value] < 0, 0, 1)
),
[Value],
[Date]
)

This approach ensures that for each date, the negative values will appear first, followed by the positive values.

Apologies, for my lapse in understanding. The table I refferd to earlier is not a physical table. 

My XIRR calculation Measure is : 

visheshvats1_0-1731315956790.png

 

As the mathematical function 'XIRR' needs the order of the values in an order where neagative values come before positive values at a given date. I wish to order the output of my temporary table within my measure. 

Hope my question is clearer now.

That's not what the function definition says.  It does however require a grouping by date.

 

lbendlin_1-1731333046922.png

 

you would still need to provide more realistic sample data.

Thanks for the response, as XIRR measures the annualized return on an investment portfolio, in accounting scenarios, the initial investment is always denoted as a -ve value, this can be checked on an excel sheet using the tabular data I shared. 

Another solution to this problem can be that if we could modify the code such that if the sum of [Net] for a given [GL Date] is 0 then those rows be excluded from the calculation altogether. Can you please suggest a way to achieve that?

yes, you can add a filter to the above code that excludes days where [n] is zero.

Good solution, but some doesnt work. The change FIlter/Sort needs to be applied at the table level. 

 

While trying something, 

visheshvats1_0-1731389026347.png

 

Any idea why the Table is not being sorted by the [Net] values?
Output is still:

There is no need for sorting the raw data.

Understood, and yes I could get the value using the expression share by you earlier. Thank you for that.
But this only works if i filter the table with a given 'deal name'. Not for each deal. 

Working Table dax: 

 

visheshvats1_1-1731399867702.png

 

But when i modify to accept any 'deal name':

visheshvats1_2-1731399947870.png

The subtotal is being repeated over and over: 

visheshvats1_3-1731400017404.png

Any idea on how to resolve this? Thank you.
