Spread contract value across time
All right, good luck.
You should actually thank Phil_Seamark for that little beauty, until I understood GENERATE (which I came to from reading his book), that problem vexed me from almost the very first day I worked with Power BI!

I did not manage with the solution I was following.
I used your code and it works !!!!
It just look so scary I was afraid to even read it :)
I have code below.
It uses SUMX at the end.
Total Amount 2 =
VAR tmpCalendar = ADDCOLUMNS('Calendar',"Month",MONTH([Date]),"Year",YEAR([Date]),"MonthYear",VALUE(YEAR([Date]) & FORMAT(MONTH([Date]),"0#")))
VAR tmpBilling = ADDCOLUMNS('Demand',"MonthYearBegin",VALUE(YEAR([BeginDate]) & FORMAT(MONTH([BeginDate]),"0#")),
"MonthYearEnd",VALUE(YEAR([UntilDate]) & FORMAT(MONTH([UntilDate]),"0#")))
VAR tmpTable =
SELECTCOLUMNS(
FILTER(
GENERATE(
tmpBilling,
SUMMARIZE(tmpCalendar,[Year],[Month],[MonthYear])
),
[MonthYear] >= [MonthYearBegin] &&
[MonthYear] <= [MonthYearEnd]
),
"Customer",[Customer],
"Year",[Year],
"Month",[Month],
"Amount",[Amount]
)
RETURN SUMX(tmpTable,[Amount])You should actually thank Phil_Seamark for that little beauty, until I understood GENERATE (which I came to from reading his book), that problem vexed me from almost the very first day I worked with Power BI!
One thing I don't understand.
In the billing example pbix
There is a Calendar Table with Date column. It was showing me chronological order in the bar graph. When I removed it and put back again to the chronology changed (I think I was playing with my data sample of 5 ).
Is there anything beside Date and Date Hierarchy to play around ?
Like in my ultimate version I got data for 2017,2018,2019,2020 but by choosing Hierarchy I can only see Jan-Dec
Not sure whether it is 2019 which has all the amounts really or all combined by monthly basis.
I would like to see continum of 2017-2020
any idea ?
Thanks
