Running Total - Data Source SSAS MutiDimensional Cube

Hi,

I would like to create a formula to calculate a Running Total in a Power BI Report. The source is a DataSet having a direct connection to an SSAS MultiDimensional Cube. I tried using Quick Measure but to no avail. Unfortunately, I would not like to solve this by creating the measure in the cube.

I have search for a solution but can not seem to find anything.

Can anyone help to create a DAX formula to achieve the below result with is sorted by value and not by SalesRep ?

 

DATA SOURCE

MULTI DIMENSIONAL CUBE

    

 

Filter 1 :

 Year(2019)

     

Filter 2 :

SalesRep A

SalesRep B

SalesRep C

SalesRep D

SalesRep E

SalesRep F

 

Sort By Net Value

    

SalesRepName

Sales Net Value

Running Total

   

SalesRep E

30,000

30,000

    

SalesRep B

50,000

80,000

    

SalesRep A

100,000

180,000

    

SalesRep D

200,000

380,000

    

SalesRep C

400,000

780,000

    

SalesRep F

600,000

1,380,000

    

TOTAL

1,380,000

1,380,000

      Unfortunately since the data source is a multi-dimensional cube the SUM function doe not work.

    Hi qwk ,

    First, please select the related visual which you want to sort the data. Then select its More options (...) menu in the upper right corner, select Sort by, and then select the field by which you want to sort.

    Sort by column in Power BI Desktop

    Best Regards

  • Hi,

    Is there an expert out ther who can help me solve this issue.

    Please keep in mind that the data source is OLAP .. I need a Running Total Formula in Power BI on an OLAP Measure.

    N.B. DAX Sum function does not work on a measure having OLAP as a data source.

    Thanks
