Cumulative Balance and Month-on-Month Values

Hello everyone,

 

I'm trying to create P&L and Balance Sheet from Enterprise Software records - that is, taking the system-dump for a certain time-period using appropriate tcodes, and then utilizing Power BI on the drill-down structure (BS/PL Category-Main Category-Account-SubAccount/etc.).

 

I have the following simplified main table of transactions for a plant/profit center, showing just 3 GL codes for the year:

 As you can see there's an accumulated balance for the entries.

 

How do I create a table in Power BI with the following month-on-month values for the year, in the following format?

The calculated table here can be used to make the P&L.

 

Negative Signs are due to convention used in the ERP. There is only 1 entry per GL in a month of the Financial Year, no duplicates.

How can we create the above calculated table?

 

Thank you.

Hi @AnanthKS ,

 

Please try the following formula:

 

Column = 
'Table'[Accum.balance]
    - CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Accum.balance] ),
        FILTER (
            'Table',
            'Table'[Date] = EOMONTH ( EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] ), -1 )
                && YEAR ( 'Table'[Date] ) = YEAR (  EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] ) )
                && 'Table'[GL Code] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[GL Code] )
        )
    )

Hi @AnanthKS ,

 

Please try the following calculation column:

 

Column =
'Table'[Accum.balance]
    - CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Accum.balance] ),
        FILTER (
            'Table',
            'Table'[Date] = EOMONTH ( EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] ), -1 )
                && 'Table'[GL Code] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[GL Code] )
        )
    )

Hi, thanks for the reply. However, it seems the formula doesn't work past the first year in the transactions table. I think there must be a check every time a new year/financil year begins?

 

Please see the screenshot below (I've expanded the trial table now), there's a column called MTMBalance (Month-To-Month) for manual calculation for what should be the answer. CheckBalance is calculated column as per solution posted:

Hope we have a way around this.

@AnanthKS , Please refer this video from Curbal, if that can help in getting this format

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IISYzTaIyu4

Hi,

Unfortunately that video did not help.

I am trying to find a solution that can give me month-on-month values for all GL codes, for each applicable month. (That is, ome GL codes will appear only in say, month 4 of the FY, and will therefore not feature in months 1 to 3 transactions).

The ERP dumps the accumulated GL balance up to the "reporting period" of the selected FY.  On the other hand, I am trying to build both monthly P&L, and YTD P&L.
