Subtotals Balance Sheet

[marsclone]

Hi,

In the past, I have been very well helped by a fellow forum member in building a P&L.
The nice thing about this model is, that it can be applied in Power BI and Power Pivot.
Privately I like to work with Power BI, but at work I can only use Power Pivot.

Now I would like to build a Balance Sheet as well. The examples I find on the forum use measures that are not available in Power Pivot.
Therefore, I would like to use the current P&L model for building a Balance Sheet as well. Only the subtotals are calculated differently.

I hope you guys can help me in creating this overview.
I have attached a Testfile and the end result looks like this.

P&L - Working 

Balance - Not Working 

Thank you and best regards,
Marcel

Hi @marsclone Here is a proposed solution if you can change the layout as follows:

Hi Winniz,

This is looking good! At the moment i'm on a holiday. When i'm back the first thing i do, is to test this.

I will let you know!

Thank you!

Kind regards

Hey @marsclone ,

your measures don't show any data because the relationship between the tables report balance and accounts balance is not active:

Just activate the relationship with a double click and then "Make this relationship active":

Then your measures will show values:

In general an inactive relationship is more or less like a non existing relationship. The two tables were not connected without an active relationship. Always make sure the relationships fit.

If you need any help please let me know.

If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍

Best regards

Hi Denis,

Thank you for your reply. 
That the relationship was inactive, i didn't noticed. Thank you for that. 
The biggest problem is still the different subtotals that have to be calculated. 
At this moment it is a running total, but is not correct. 
For the right subtotals please see the screenshot. 
I hope you can help me?

Kind regards

Marcel

@marsclone The groups that have different results seem to be missing in the table "Accounts Balance". At least Assets, Result and Shareholders Equity are missing.

Should that be like this?

@selimovd 

These are subtotals calculated according to the "report balance" table.
This method works when creating a P&L, but not for the balance sheet.
I am looking for a method in which the subtotals can be calculated and displayed in this way.

I wonder if this is possible?

Hi @marsclone ,

Please create two columns:

Group 1 = 
var Pre = 
    MAXX(
        FILTER(
            'Report Balance',
            'Report Balance'[Sortgroup] < EARLIER('Report Balance'[Sortgroup])
                && 'Report Balance'[Subtotal?] = 1
        ),
        'Report Balance'[Sortgroup]
    )
return 
    IF(
        'Report Balance'[Subtotal?] = 1 && Pre <> 'Report Balance'[Sortgroup] - 1,
        'Report Balance'[Sortgroup]
    )

Group 2 = 
IF(
    'Report Balance'[Subtotal?] = 1 && 'Report Balance'[Group 1] = BLANK(),
    'Report Balance'[Sortgroup]
)

Then create the following measures:

GROUP_1 = 
var Pre_Group1 = 
    MAXX(
        FILTER(
            ALL('Report Balance'),
            'Report Balance'[Group 1] < MAX('Report Balance'[Group 1]) 
        ),
        'Report Balance'[Group 1]
    )
var Group1_Value = 
    CALCULATE(
        [Total Balance],
        FILTER(
            ALL('Report Balance'),
            'Report Balance'[Sortgroup] < MAX('Report Balance'[Sortgroup]) && 'Report Balance'[Sortgroup] > Pre_Group1
        )
    )
return 
    IF(
        MAX('Report Balance'[Sortgroup]) = MAX('Report Balance'[Group 1]), 
        Group1_Value
    )

Measure = 
var Pre_Group2 = 
    MAXX(
        FILTER(
            ALL('Report Balance'),
            'Report Balance'[Group 2] < MAX('Report Balance'[Group 2])
        ),
        'Report Balance'[Group 2]
    )
return     
    SWITCH(
        TRUE(),
        MAX('Report Balance'[Sortgroup]) = MAX('Report Balance'[Group 1]), [GROUP_1],
        MAX('Report Balance'[Sortgroup]) = MAX('Report Balance'[Group 2]),
        CALCULATE(
            SUMX( ALLSELECTED('Report Balance'[Sortgroup]), [GROUP_1] ),
            FILTER(
                ALL('Report Balance'),
                'Report Balance'[Subtotal?] = 1 && 'Report Balance'[Sortgroup] < MAX('Report Balance'[Sortgroup]) && 'Report Balance'[Sortgroup] > Pre_Group2 
            )  
        ),
        [Total Balance]
    )

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

Winniz

@v-kkf-msft Dear Winniz,

Your solution helped me a lot to build a balance for our organization.
Now I would also like to build a P&L in this way.
The question is whether this is possible? Your method is easy to apply, both in Power BI and in Power Pivot.

What might be a problem is that the result of the P&L should be added to the equity to balance the balance sheet?

I hope you can help me with this.

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Kind regards,
Marcel
