Starting & Ending Inventory Columns

Hello,  

 

Struggling with what feels like a very simple function.  My data looks like the below table example.  Essentially i need to create a starting inventory column and an ending inventory column.  Where;

 

Starting Inventory = Ending Inventory of Previous Week + New inventory

Ending Inventory = Starting Inventory of Current Week less Sales for that week

Hi,

Share the download link of the PBI file.  Ensure there is a Calendar table with a Week starting column.

@dswinden , You have to use a cumulative approach

 

Inventory / OnHand
[Intial Inventory] + CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Ordered]),filter(date,date[date] <=maxx(date,date[date]))) - CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Sold]),filter(date,date[date] <=maxx(date,date[date])))

Inventory / OnHand
CALCULATE(firstnonblankvalue('Date'[Month]),sum(Table[Intial Inventory]),all('Date')) + CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Ordered]),filter(date,date[date] <=maxx(date,date[date]))) - CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Sold]),filter(date,date[date] <=maxx(date,date[date])))
