Hi

You need to know the table and field name that BC sum up. Then in Power BI add the a filter and then you can create something like Key Measure and use formula like below and then make that key measure to the page and add it as tile . Now, if you filter the date that tile should update.

I mean this is one method and you could find many others (like the one that I shared). Also you can add filter to Calculate as well see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/calculate-function-dax

or docs.microsoft.com/.../datesbetween-function-dax

Job_Value=CALCULATE(
SUM(Table[field] for example SUM(Posted_Sales_Invoice_Line[Line_Amount_USD]),

I am trying to filter on posting dates for Jobs in the Job module in BC

So in my totals filter..I go to the posting date filter and I enter 10/20/20../11/20/20 I can see the Job actuals on that date something was posted..say if I invoiced a job 2 days ago and again today. I want to see just the transactions on that job from 2 days ago. Let me know if you need any more info.

Hi

This is for Total Filter which uses entered value in BC. There is no way (as far as I know) to use that in Power BI. Why you need to use that in Power BI? You can use Power BI functions to sum up numbers based on date range.

Something like
