Cumulative Sum of sorted Count

[Anonymous]

Hi together,

I got following Problem:

I am trying to build the cumulative sum of a measure, which gives me the count of how often a value appears in my dataset.

This measure is sorted in my table view and starts with the biggest value first and ends with the lowest.

This is what i have:

This is, what i am looking for:

I tried several dax measures, but they all did not work, because the Count of message is already a measure and not just some values in a table.

Thank you!!

Hi @Anonymous ,

I did the test and favor @refint_650  response. If there is no effect of additional filters, the cumulative value can be found by the following two measures.

M_sum = COUNTROWS('Table')

1 = CALCULATE([M_sum],ALL('Table'),'Table'[Category]<=MAX('Table'[Category]))

Can you provide more information about the data model or check for possible filter conditions in the filter. Looking forward to your reply.

Best Regards,
Henry

@Anonymous I need to look at how your model is and what you are using on rows? Are you using columns on the rows from the same table on which you have countrows measure.

Check by changing ALL ( Table[Message] ) to ALL ( Table )

@parry2k my table contains a lot of rows. One of the columns of this table is 'message'. There are about 200 different messages in some of this rows, some of them are also blank. The measure, which counts how much of these individually messages appear in my table is simply: COUNT(Table[Message]). This is what you can see in the colums 'Count of Message'. So i am just working with one table..

@Anonymous try this measure

RT = 
VAR __cnt = [Count]
RETURN
CALCULATE ( [Count], FILTER ( ALL ('Table'[Message] ), [Count] <= __cnt ) )

Thanks for your suggestion @parry2k .

Unfortunately this measure gives me the exact same values as the count-function.

can you show sample data view for this one in picture format. i guess you have to change filter condition . can you put rough data in excel and share picture.
