Debtors Days DAX Calculation

[deniseg]

Dear PowerBi Community,

I would like to ask for your help to calculate on DAX the Debtors Days.

Debtor Days = (Average Receivables in a Period) / (Revenue of current month * Number of Days in the Period.

Used the below three DAX Formulas but I still did not get the correct Debtors Days.

First, I calculated the Average Receivables,

Average Receivables = CALCULATE(AVERAGE('AR v AP Database'[Amount]),

DATESINPERIOD('Month Year Date'[Date],LASTDATE('Month Year Date'[Date]),-2,MONTH), FILTER('AR v AP Database','AR v AP Database'[AR v AP] = "AR"))

and then the Revenue of the Current Period multiply by 30 days,

Revenue of Current Period = [Actual Financial Total Revenue] * 30

lastly the Debtors Days

Debtors Days = [Average Receivables] / [Revenue of Current Period]

I think there is a mistake on my Average Receivable Days DAX Formula.

I hope you can help me.

Thank you,

Denise G

a / b * c is not equal to a / (b * c). Your formula is syntactically invalid on top of that...

Debtor Days = (Average Receivables in a Period) / (Revenue of current month * Number of Days in the Period.

What's more, everything should be relative to the period. What does 'Revenue of current month' do in there?

Thank you for your response. I am really confused with this one. Do you have a suggestion? Thank you.

Hi @deniseg ,

'Month Year Date'[Date] is the date column of a marked date table. And Try the following formula:

Average Receivables = 
CALCULATE(
    AVERAGE('AR v AP Database'[Amount]),
    DATESINPERIOD( 'Month Year Date'[Date], LASTDATE('AR v AP Database'[Date]), -2, MONTH ), 
    FILTER(
        ALL('AR v AP Database'),
        'AR v AP Database'[AR v AP] = "AR"
    ),
    GROUPBY('AR v AP Database','AR v AP Database'[AR v AP])
)

 

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.
