Hi @sclencioco

 

You may add a month column for your rate table. Then link the Rate table with the Amount Table in relationship view. Then you may create a measure such as:

Convert =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Amount[Amount] ) * MAX ( Rates[LatestRate] ),
    FILTER ( ALL ( Amount ), Amount[Month] = MAX ( Amount[Month] ) )
)

Hi @sclencioco

 

You may get the latest conversion per month by below calculated column or measure:

 

LatestRate =
VAR RankForDate =
    RANKX (
        FILTER (
            Rates,
            YEAR ( Rates[covered_date] ) = YEAR ( EARLIER ( Rates[covered_date] ) )
                && MONTH ( Rates[covered_date] ) = MONTH ( EARLIER ( Rates[covered_date] ) )
        ),
        Rates[covered_date],
        ,
        DESC,
        DENSE
    )
RETURN
    IF ( Rates[exchange_rate_id] = 1 && RankForDate = 1, Rates[rate] )

Measure =
VAR RankForDate =
RANKX (
FILTER (
ALL ( Rates ),
YEAR ( Rates[covered_date] ) = YEAR ( MAX ( Rates[covered_date] ) )
&& MONTH ( Rates[covered_date] ) = MONTH ( MAX ( Rates[covered_date] ) )
),
CALCULATE ( MAX ( Rates[covered_date] ) ),
,
DESC,
DENSE
)
RETURN
IF (
MAX ( Rates[exchange_rate_id] ) = 1
&& RankForDate = 1,
MAX ( Rates[rate] )
)

Hi, there are multiple solutions to the currency conversion problem online, but none seem to get the sumtotal right, including this solution. Do you know how to solve it? I suppose it would contain some combinations of IF(hasonevalue()) and sumx.

Hello,

 

I Experienced this error when I try to create relationship

Hi @sclencioco

 

It seems you need to update the version. Then set the relationship. Here is the sample file for your reference.
