Visualizing historical balance

I am building visuals for providing a view of invoice balances based on a date selection. 

 

Based on selected date, the view will show the invoices and the amount owed by customer and a chart with total balances by month. 

Transactions are in the form of this below table. I have a calendar table from 2015.  

Current balances is  available from the balance column. I have the bar chart showing the current balalnces due for each month. But i would need to build something to look at the balance due as of any particular date.  What will be the approach without a performance issue. 

 

 

CustomerInvoiceOrder DateAmountBalancePaid DatePaid Amount
5000INV101/10/20191000001/29/20191000
5010INV501/20/20191500002/12/20191500

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please check the following steps.

1# Create a yearmonth column for your CALENDAR table.

 

yearmonth = FORMAT('CALENDAR'[Date],"YYYYMM")

 

2# Create a measure as below.

 

Measure = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Invoice]),FORMAT('Table'[Order Date],"YYYYMM")=SELECTEDVALUE('CALENDAR'[yearmonth])||FORMAT('Table'[Paid Date],"YYYYMM")=SELECTEDVALUE('CALENDAR'[yearmonth])))

 

 Result would be shown as below.

Sorry for the delay in my reply. 

 

The ask is to show the Due amount details based on a date .

From the above data, if the date selected is 11/20/2017, only the first transacation should be displayed as the $1600 is due as of 11/20/2017 and the rest of the orders belongs to 2019 or they are all greater than 11/202/2017

Hi,

That is a confusing question.  What exact result do you want?

I would start with another date column in your data.

  1. Create a date column that is the "Latest Activity" which is if there is a payment, use the Payment date, otherwise use the Order Date.
  2. Relate that new date column to your Date column in your Date Table.
  3. You need a measure that shows the balance, which is Amount - Paid Amount. Don't worry about Paid Amount being null. Number-BLANK=Number in DAX.
  4. You can then create a table/matrix/whatever that uses the Date[Date] from your Date table then summarizes or pulls whatever you want from this table below.

I do not understand having a calendar of dates from 2015 when you data shows from 2019.

 

Unless I am seriously missing something, generally the way you handle what you have presented is to use a date slicer to zero in on particular dates.
