I have a very simple table with two columns. Date, and Daily Events. The data comes a Big Data DB. The events are already aggregated per day but I want to run a cummulative total. The DAX CALCULATE function does not work since none of the two columns are expressions. I even separated the date into another table that has only Dates. So here is the way the data looks
Date NumberOfDailyEvents
2017-10-26 207294
2017-10-27 339522
2017-10-28 221002
. .
. .
I hope you get the picture. Now, I thought the calculate function should look something like this:
Can anybody please tell me what do I need to make this thing work (The NumberOfDailyEvents] is not a measure like I said, it comes directly from a DB.
thanks
Since NumberOfDailyEvents is a column you will just need to provide an aggregate function like SUM() to tell the tabular engine how to aggregate the values.
eg.
CALCULATE (
SUM([NumberOfDailyEvents]),
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Date'[Date] ),
'Date'[Date] <= MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
)
)
