I have monthly data as follows...
Year | Month | Budget |
2020 | 11 | 100 |
2020 | 12 | -50 |
2021 | 1 | 150 |
2021 | 2 | 100 |
2021 | 3 | 100 |
I'd like to transform this data or create a custom column that will zero out the December value and add it to the January value in the following month. It would look like this.
Year | Month | Budget | NewBudget |
2020 | 11 | 100 | 100 |
2020 | 12 | -50 | 0 |
2021 | 1 | 150 | 100 |
2021 | 2 | 100 | 100 |
2021 | 3 | 100 | 100 |
Any ideas?
HelloScottyR,
According to your description, I added some data to show:
1. Create a column
New Budget =
SWITCH(
'Table'[Month],
12,
IF(
'Table'[Project ID]=CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Project ID]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Year]=EARLIER('Table'[Year])+1&&'Table'[Month]=1)),0,'Table'[Budget]),
1,
IF(
'Table'[Project ID]=CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Project ID]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Year]=EARLIER('Table'[Year])-1&&'Table'[Month]=12)),
CALCULATE(
MAX('Table'[Budget]),
FILTER('Table','Table'[Year]=EARLIER('Table'[Year])-1&&'Table'[Month]=12))+'Table'[Budget],
'Table'[Budget]),
'Table'[Budget])
2. Result

@ScottyR ,
Create a date column and join that with date table
New column
Date = Date([year],[month],1)
measures
LMTD = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Budget]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
new budget =
Switch( True() ,
sum(Table[Budget)<0 , 0 ,
[LMT] <0 , [LMTD]+ sum(Table[Budget),
sum(Table[Budget)
)
Hi @ScottyR,
Here are the steps you can follow:
1. Create a calculated column
New Budget =
IF(
'Table'[Month]=12,
0,
IF(
'Table'[Month]=1,
CALCULATE(
MAX('Table'[Budget]), FILTER('Table','Table'[Year]=EARLIER('Table'[Year])-1&&'Table'[Month]=12))+'Table'[Budget],
'Table'[Budget])
)
2. Result

This is close. I neglected to mention that my data set includes multiple projects. I have a column called Project_ID. I need to do this separately for each Project ID. The example you provided calculates January values across every Project_ID.
So it looks like this
Project ID | Year | Month | Budget | NewBudget |
1 | 2020 | 11 | 100 | 100 |
1 | 2020 | 12 | -50 | 0 |
1 | 2021 | 1 | 150 | 100 |
1 | 2021 | 2 | 100 | 100 |
1 | 2021 | 3 | 100 | 100 |
2 | 2020 | 11 | 10 | 10 |
2 | 2020 | 12 | -5 | 0 |
2 | 2021 | 1 | 15 | 10 |
2 | 2021 | 2 | 10 | 10 |
2 | 2021 | 3 | 10 | 10 |
