Running Totals in descending order with filters

jschaefer — Mon, 19 Jul 2021 17:27:18 GMT

Hello,

I'm not sure why I am not getting this so I could please use some help. I have the following dataset:

Task Name	Planned Count	Planned Finish	Commit Count	Commit Finish	Actual Count	Actual Finish
task 1	1	1/29/2021	0		1	1/29/2021
task2	1	8/28/2020	0		1	8/28/2020
task3	1	2/16/2021	0		1	2/16/2021
task4	1	9/11/2020	0		1	9/11/2020
task5	1	8/27/2021	1	10/1/2021	0
task6	1	4/30/2021	0		1	4/30/2021
task7	1	1/29/2021	0		1	1/29/2021
task8	1	7/30/2021	1	8/20/2021	0
task9	1	6/7/2021	0		1	6/7/2021
task10	1	7/19/2021	1	7/19/2021	0
task11	1	7/16/2021	1	8/6/2021	0
task12	1	7/23/2021	1	8/5/2021	0
task13	1	9/11/2020	0		1	9/11/2020

I need to be able to graph the following measures:

Planned Count = starting at min value in Planned Finish, summing all Planned Count and decreasing to zero, including every day from a dates table so graphing is smooth
1. example: starts at 8/28/20 with the first value of 13. Stays at 13 until 9/11/20 where it drops to 11 (2 tasks completed on same day), then 10 on 1/29/21, etc. until it reachs zero on 8/27/21
Commit Count = Same as Planned count, just counting items with non-blank values Commit Finish
Actual Count = Same as Planned count, just counting items with non-blank values Actual Finish

Any assistance would be appreciated!

Thank you!!

jschaefer , I think you need

Reverse cumulative

Join all three dates with date table

then create measures like

planned = sum(Table[Planned Count])
Commit = calculate(sum(Table[Commit Count]), userelationship('Date'[date], Table[Commit Finish]), not(isblank(Table[Commit Finish])))
Actual = calculate(sum(Table[Commit Count]), userelationship('Date'[date], Table[Actual Finish]), not(isblank(Table[Actual Finish])))

planned **bleep** = calculate([planned], filter(allselected('Date'),'Date'[date] >=max('Date'[date])))
Commit **bleep** = calculate([Commit], filter(allselected('Date'),'Date'[date] >=max('Date'[date])))
Actual **bleep** = calculate([Actual], filter(allselected('Date'),'Date'[date] >=max('Date'[date])))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.

amitchandak While I admire your correct syntax your spelling of count might have missed something. ;-O

Unfortunately this produces lines that start with the first date in the date table instead of the first date where there is data and it also produces flat lines for actual.

After thinking about this a little more I realize my requirements change a little.

The lines should be based on the original data:
Planned: starts at 8/28/2020 and steps down from 13 to 0
Actual: starts at 8/28/20 and starts at 13 and counts down 8
Commit: starts at 7/19/21 and starts at 5 and counts down to zero.

Actual + Commit = Planned

Start dates are always the first date where there is a count.
