Translate Excel to DAX formula (adding current value to previous value of different column field)

GA1993 — Mon, 13 Sep 2021 00:49:56 GMT

Need some help please!

I am trying to translate this into a DAX function

I am trying the below code, but there seems to be a mistake on it... 😞

P&P Planned (Cumulative)_4 = Var PPCurMonth = 'Table'[Start_Date].[Date] Var PPPrevMonth = date(year(PPCurMonth),month(PPCurMonth)-1,day(PPCurMonth)) Var _PPPlanned = Calculate(SUM('MP - Engine'[P&P Planned]),'MP - Engine'[Start Date]=PPCurMonth) Var _PPCumulative = Calculate(SUM('MP - Engine'[P&P Planned (Cumulative)_1]),'MP - Engine'[Start Date]=PPPrevMonth) return (_PPPlanned + _PPCumulative) + _PPCumulative

As it is showing the incorrect values below. The correct values should be as above image...

Thank you. Actually I thought of something. Is there a way to get the accumulated data just until the EOM meaning the month indicated on the line item?

For example,

Feb value = Jan + Feb

Mar value = Jan + Feb + Mar

Apr value = Jan + Feb + Mar + Apr

and so on..

I am trying this code, but it gets the overall accumulated data of 73..

Accumulated = SUMX( FILTER( 'MP - Engine', 'MP - Engine'[Start Date].[Date] <= EOMONTH('MP - Engine'[Start Date].[Date],0) ), 'MP - Engine'[P&P Planned] )
