Calulating help

Hello !

How do you calculate minus in power bi, i.e. I have a baseline = 208 and then I have another field with values ​​to be accumulated downwards, see my example:

 

Forecast is calculated from another variable called "Effekt CO2 (sustainability)"

 

ÅRPrognos
  
2022208

2024208

Hi @Anonymous for solution as below, please create Date  / Calendar Table in Power BI and connect / create relationship with your Year column. 

After that please create following measures 83), adopt Sheet1 with your table name

To get visuals as below, please use Year colum from created Date / Calendar table

Sum of Base = SUM(Sheet1[Baseline])
Sum of Effekt CO2 = sum(Sheet1[Effekt CO2])
 
Running total =
VAR __max_date = MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
VAR __base_line=[Sum of Base]
VAR __running_total=
    CALCULATE (
        [Sum of Effekt CO2],          
        'Date'[Date] <= __max_date,  
        ALL ( 'Date' )              
    )
VAR __Result=__running_total+__base_line
RETURN __Result

Hello again! That is, I want the calculations to start at 208, but then it should be accumulated based on this table:

Hi @Anonymous Inforande is Date type column? In column Basline there will be always single amount for each year, like 208?

Hi @Anonymous Informande is Date type column? It is only a date column with Year


In column Baseline there will always be a single amount for each year, like 208? Yes only 208, but I don't know if I'm thinking wrong or if the year 2022 should start with 208 and then calculate it based on "Summa of Effect CO2 (sustainability)"

Hi @Anonymous for solution as below, please create Date  / Calendar Table in Power BI and connect / create relationship with your Year column.

Hi @Anonymous measure for this case should use date related columns from Date / Calendar table

To get visuals as below, please use Year colum from created Date / Calendar table
