Calculating Sum Based on Current Date Value and Previous Date Values

[Palan22]

Hi! 

I am trying to calculate the sum of all 'Received' values from the current and any previous postdate by using the following:

Change = CALCULATE(SUM(Services[Received]),FILTER(Services,Services[Post Date]<=EARLIER(Services[Post Date])))

My issue is that the calculated value for the first date post (12/12/2021) is wrong, I am not even sure where the 44505 value came from. I should be seeing 1935 as the received and change value for 12/12/2021. Am I using the wrong function?

@Palan22 , Better to do this with a date table.

Check example

This Day = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date]=max('Date'[Date])))
Last Day = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date]=max('Date'[Date])-1))
Last Day = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), previousday('Date'[Date]))

Day Intelligence - Last day, last non continous day

@amitchandak Hi! If I want the 'Change' value to be the sum of the current post day 'Received' value and all previous post date 'Received' values, which example would you suggest I use?  In my image example, I posted above, the first date change value is incorrect but anything after that is correct. For example, the post date 02/13/2021 shows a received value of 13 and a change value of 1950 ( received value from 12/12/2021 plus the received value from 12/13/2021), which is correct. I tried the examples you posted but it's only displaying the previous post date values, or a blank section (more than likely due to the fact that I don't have a date table you mentioned).  Thanks for helping me out with this.
