Cumulative Total

‎06-15-2016 05:46 AM

Hi,

 

I'm at an absolute loss as to how to calculate a cumulative total. I've tried googling, reading the forums, following the documentation, decomposing the calculation, trying it as both a measure and a calc'd column; It always seems to refer me to the same number. So for example; March will be 10, April 12, but instead of showing me 10 for March and 22 for April, it shows me 10 for March and 12 for april.

 

For eg: https://gyazo.com/41bd333cedac290e6980772906ff0034 with a measure

 

I my Month column as a date column, I've tried using all kinds of features including, calc, sum, sumx, time based functions.

 

The commonly reccomended filter of [Date] <= MAX [Date] always returns an error. The Earlier function returns errors with concerns there isn't a function above it. Any help would be greatly appreciated; I've spent hours today trying to work this out and I get the feeling there is a difference in Pivottable dax and powerbi dax. I want to be able to shape and transform my data in powerbi, using dax in powerbi.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@ElliotP Sorry about the original post. It was from my phone and had typos Smiley Wink

 

Okay here is the formula for Running Total as a Calculated Column (prorerly formatted)

 

Running Total COLUMN =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'All Web Site Data (2)'[UniquePageviews] ),
    ALL ( 'All Web Site Data (2)' ),
    'All Web Site Data (2)'[Date] <= EARLIER ( 'All Web Site Data (2)'[Date] )
)

 

And as you can see it works! Smiley Happy

And here's the MEASURE formula

 

Running Total MEASURE = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'All Web Site Data (2)'[UniquePageviews] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'All Web Site Data (2)' ),
        'All Web Site Data (2)'[Date] <= MAX ( 'All Web Site Data (2)'[Date] )
    )
)

 

Which also works...
