Running Total that works across 2 different columns/dimensions

philip_nwdba — Wed, 20 Mar 2024 16:16:54 GMT

I have a running total DAX calculation that works based on the Month column in my date table.

CALCULATE( [Volume], FILTER( ALLSELECTED('Date'[Month]), ISONORAFTER('Date'[Month], MAX('Date'[Month]), DESC) ) )

I have another table in my semantic model called Fiscal period. I want the user to be able to see the running total of volume regardless of which column they are viewing the data by either Month or Fiscal Period. I could create another measure using the below code.

CALCULATE( [Period], FILTER( ALLSELECTED('Fiscal Period'[Period]), ISONORAFTER('Fiscal Period'[Period], MAX('Fiscal Period'[Period]), DESC) ) )

However that isnt very user friendly having 2 measures. Is there a way of creating a running total measure that will work against the 'Fiscal Period'[Period] column and the 'Date'[Month] column.

Hello philip_nwdba,

Can you please try this approach:

Unified Running Total = CALCULATE( [Volume], FILTER( ALLSELECTED('Unified Date'[Unified Date]), ISONORAFTER('Unified Date'[Unified Date], MAX('Unified Date'[Unified Date]), DESC) ) )

Hi, what is the unified date column?
