Cumulative measure under a non time dimension

I have a measure called Amount which is the amount for a fiscal period.  

 

Dimension FiscalPeriod

 

I would like to have a calculated measure who would give me

Fiscal.     Period.    Amount.     Cumulative

16-17.      1.             10000.       10000

16-17.     2.              6000.         16000

16-17.      3.            3500.          19500

 

How do I do this in mdx script?

 

Thanks

@jgagnon69,

What do you mean "old version of SQL " ? You can use DAX to calculate running total in Power BI Desktop as long as you have connect to the SQL Server data source in Power BI Desktop. There is a blog about calculating running total for your reference.

If you still want to use MDX, please take a look at the following blogs. And I would recommend you post the question in the SSAS forum to get dedicated support.

Have no idea in mdx but in DAX you could just create a Running total Quick Measure.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

I can’t use Dax as our customer is on an old version of SQL Server

Thanks
