@amitchandak  Thanks , video was helpful  . However i noticed that this only 

CLOSINGBALANCEMONTH only gets data if the sales table has data for month end . what if my last day of sales was 28th Aug 2020 instead of 31st Aug 2020 , i don't see any results for the month of Aug . Keen to hear your thoughts

Hi, @Anonymous , I provide you with a solution with more flexibilities. You might want to refer to the attached pbix file for details.

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!

@Anonymous , I have used lastnonblankvalue too in the video that can be used

Thanks @amitchandak  i do get the correct data now . Much appreciated .

 

i do have a follow-up question - if i want to compare this months end sales v/s 6 months ago , i use the below formula but this dosen't seem to be working 

last 6 months ago = calculate (Sum(total sales),DateAdd(date,-6,MONTH))

Any ideas on how to get this comparions Today - last 6 months ago
