Add current value to previous row value (with condition)

Hello everyone,

 

Is there any way that I can do this in Power BI? I want to make column "calculations" using this formula.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Here is a solution to your problem. I am not sure if it is the most efficient solution, but it gives you the result needed.

First, I added an index column from the query editor to the table to be able to catch the previous value of Type and Size. Then, I added a calculated column with the formula below:

Please find the .pbix file here
(N.B. I updated the file please make sure you refresh the page to get the correct file!)
Please if that solves your problem, accept as solution and give kudos 🙂 
Thank you!
