Linear Depreciation - DAX

Im looking for a formula that can calculate linear depreciation (Capex divided years).

 

Are there any who have tips about making formula in DAX that can manage this?

based on the originals tables you posted this should work, I'm assuming second table is named Parameter

Depreciation =
VAR License = Inputtabel[License]
VAR CurrentYear = Inputtabel[Year]
VAR NrOfDeprYears =
    RELATED ( Parameter[Year depreciation] )
VAR CapexToDate =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        FILTER (
            Inputtabel,
            Inputtabel[License] = License
                && Inputtabel[Year] <= CurrentYear
                && NOT ( ISBLANK ( Inputtabel[Capex] ) )
        ),
        "NrOfYearsDepr", RELATED ( Parameter[Year depreciation] )
    )
VAR FullCapexPerYear =
    FILTER (
        GENERATE (
            CapexToDate,
            GENERATESERIES (
                [Year],
                [Year] + RELATED ( Parameter[Year depreciation] )
                    - 1,
                1
            )
        ),
        [Value] = CurrentYear
    )
RETURN
    SUMX ( FullCapexPerYear, [Capex] / [NrOfYearsDepr] )

Hey,

I think that you can adapt the solution that is described here:

to your need.

Thank you very much. I have to spend some time to learn this formula but it look very interesting.

Im sorry, I can not use any of them. It looks like there are no DAX-function that take care of depreciations.

my finance skills are a bit rusty, but isn't that just few simple equations? do you have sample data that you need to apply this to? can you share it?

I send you this photo of my problem. Its very simple. I have an inputtabel (year, License, Capex ) and a parametertabel with information about amount of year depreciation which I use to divide capex. Then I need to distrubute depreciation over amount of years. In my model I also have a Calendertabel I connect to my Inputtabel.
