Hi @Aliafshari

 

When you select a YEAR, a MONTH and a DAY, result would be a single date

SELECTEDVALUE pulls that date

 

see the attached file with your sample data

Hi @Aliafshari

 

Try this MEASURE

Sum_Before_Selected_Day =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( TableName[Quantity] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( TableName ),
        TableName[Date] < SELECTEDVALUE ( TableName[Date] )
    )
)

Hi Zubair_Muhammad

Thank you Zubair_Muhammad 

Sorry  Zubair_Muhammad 

One more question, Consider we add a column name as Main account, how to sum before a day for each of main account in a table?

 

 

Date          Main account        Quantity

 **                      **                     **

HI @Aliafshari

 

In that case use this MEASURE. Then drag it to the TABLE visual along with the account names

 

Sum_Before_Selected_Day =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( TableName[Quantity] ),
    FILTER (
        ALLEXCEPT ( TableName, TableName[Main Account] ),
        TableName[Date] < SELECTEDVALUE ( TableName[Date] )
    )
)


Thanks for the swift reply!
