And the final output is as below:

Hi
thanks for this approach, at the moment am not sure if it's good to join the tables, but yes, this is a possible way. Afer researching on internet I found out that it could be done in this way:
InitialStock = CALCULATE(SUM(InitialStock[StockQty]),FILTER(ALL(InitialStock),InitialStock[Branch]=EARLIER(Sales[Branch]) && InitialStock[Model] = EARLIER(Sales[Model]) && InitialStock[ActualPeriod] = EARLIER(Sales[ActualPeriod])))I tried it out in the file you send me and it works fine 😊 The name of thie ERALIER function is a little bit confusing but it gets the value of the row in the Sales table which can be uses for the filter.
I don't know how to attach the modified file...

I have two main tables, Sales and InitialStock which are connected bei Model over the third table Model.
consider appending these tables (or their quantities) instead. If you put the initial stock as a positive number and the sales quantity as a negative number then you can easily calculate the remaining stock at any point in time.
Thanks, but I have other stock movements like purchase, rearrangements, inventory correctures etc.
