Cumulative sum of a measure

Hello guys. I think this should be an easy one, but I have no ideas..

 

I have this table where (by day) I have a list of Sales. Also I have a Objective column.. What I need to do is to see the Difference between these two colums (I mean Sales - Obj) and then a new column which shows a cumulative sum of the Difference.. Example:

 

       Day           Obj    Sales      Diff     Diff cumulative

01/01/2018   1200   1330       130             130

02/01/2018   1399   1100      -299           -169

03/01/2018   344     131        -213           -382

04/01/2018   414     2323       1909          1527

05/01/2018   235     414          87              1614

06/01/2018   2535   242        -2293         -679

07/01/2018   2353   412        -1941         -2620

 

Thanks you all guys!

Hi @omarevp

 

First, create your new column :

 

Diff = YourTable[Sales] - YourTable[Obj]

Then add a new column 

 

Diff cumulative =
CALCULATE (
    SUM (YourTable[Diff] ),
    ALL ( YourTabke),
    YourTable[Day] <= EARLIER (yourTable[Day])
)

Have a good day

@quentin_vigneand thanks a lot! Have any idea?

 

greetings 😄

Hello @quentin_vigne the thing is, SUM function doesnt allow a measure as an argument.

@omarevp

 

Your first column should not be a measure but a calculated column. You want the Diff for each row 

Create your difference as a calculated column and it should work
