calculate running total of consecutive value

Anonymous — Mon, 27 Apr 2020 06:47:39 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to calcualte running total of only consecutive 1's value.

condition:

1. Date range is selected in date slicer. So date range is always dynamic.

2. Running total should be done in ascending order of date and should be done fir individual resources.

3. whenever 0 is encountered running total should again restart for eg. for resource "abc" for 1/5/2020 Billable value is 0. so for 1/6/2020 running total is again calculated from beginning.

Date	Resource	Billable	running total
1/2/2020	abc	1	1
1/3/2020	abc	1	2
1/4/2020	abc	1	3
1/5/2020	abc	0	0
1/6/2020	abc	1	1
1/7/2020	abc	1	2
1/2/2020	xyz	0	0
1/3/2020	xyz	1	1
1/4/2020	xyz	0	0
1/5/2020	xyz	1	1
1/6/2020	xyz	1	2
1/7/2020	xyz	0	0

Please help if anyone knows the logic.

Hi Anonymous

Try this, I'm hoping someone will come up with a more efficient version, but for now, at least you have some solution.

Column = VAR __date = 'Table'[Date] VAR __allResource = ALLEXCEPT( 'Table', 'Table'[Resource] ) VAR __firstZero = CALCULATE( MAX( 'Table'[Date] ), __allResource, 'Table'[Date] <= __date, 'Table'[Billable] = 0 ) VAR __start = IF( ISBLANK( __firstZero ), CALCULATE( MIN( 'Table'[Date] ), __allResource ), __firstZero ) RETURN CALCULATE( SUM( 'Table'[Billable] ), FILTER( ALL( 'Table'[Date] ), 'Table'[Date] >= __start && 'Table'[Date] <= __date ) )

See the attached for ref as well

Thanku Mariusz for quick reply. Logic is really awsm.

But I want the logic to work on dynamic date range. Can you please convert your logic in a measure instead of a column. I am a beginner in power bi so finding it hard to convert as of now.

Thanks a ton 🙂

Hi Anonymous

No problem, please see the below

Measure = VAR __date = SELECTEDVALUE( 'Table'[Date] ) VAR __allResource = ALLEXCEPT( 'Table', 'Table'[Resource] ) VAR __firstZero = CALCULATE( MAX( 'Table'[Date] ), __allResource, 'Table'[Date] <= __date, 'Table'[Billable] = 0 ) VAR __start = IF( ISBLANK( __firstZero ), CALCULATE( MIN( 'Table'[Date] ), __allResource ), __firstZero ) RETURN CALCULATE( SUM( 'Table'[Billable] ), FILTER( ALL( 'Table'[Date] ), 'Table'[Date] >= __start && 'Table'[Date] <= __date ) )

Thanku Mariusz

But I have a concern. In measure _firstzero and _start variable are not getting adjusted with slider date selections at UI.

Hi Anonymous

Ok, I've added ALLSELECTED

Measure = VAR __date = SELECTEDVALUE( 'Table'[Date] ) VAR __allResource = CALCULATETABLE( 'Table', ALLSELECTED( 'Table' ), VALUES( 'Table'[Resource] ) ) VAR __firstZero = CALCULATE( MAX( 'Table'[Date] ), __allResource, 'Table'[Date] <= __date, 'Table'[Billable] = 0 ) VAR __start = IF( ISBLANK( __firstZero ), CALCULATE( MIN( 'Table'[Date] ), __allResource ), __firstZero ) RETURN CALCULATE( SUM( 'Table'[Billable] ), FILTER( ALL( 'Table'[Date] ), 'Table'[Date] >= __start && 'Table'[Date] <= __date ) )

Hi Mariusz ,

I am stuck with a similar kind of problem.

I have a table with columns (example dataset Mock_PBI (1).xlsx) - date of Purchase, Product ID, Product Price, and Product Number.

I am working on finding consecutive dates for each Product ID and then sum up the product price for those dates. The result would be something like:

It would be Really great if you can help me with the problem.

Thank You

Regards
