    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 ğŸ˜Š 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...
