Hi
I have data like this saved for various dates in history:
SnapShotDate | Week | CapacityForDay | CapacityKg |
12.4.2023 | 202335 | 29.09.2023 | 15 |
12.4.2023 | 202334 | 22.09.2023 | 4 |
12.4.2023 | 202333 | 15.09.2023 | 12 |
... | ... | ... | ... |
30-50 SnapshotDates | 15-25 weeks for each snapshot - many snapshots will have rows for the same weeks | The capacities are on day level, but users will always view their sum on week level. So this date always belongs to the week specified in the Week column | Capacity varies |
The idea is that user will select which Snapshotdate data they will view (so always only 1 SnapshotDate is selected), and then they can view what was the capacity forecast for the various weeks on that Date.
I have similar data for 5 other numerical attributes besides Capacity, but they are not relevant here.
I am trying to create a cumulative sum Measure for capacity of all future weeks from that SnapshotDate forwards, and I just cannot get it right. All snapshots are from mondays (the date in the table above might not be a monday, its just a random example).
Example of expected result in PowerBI:
SnapShotDate= 12.04.2023 (selected filter)
202333 | 202334 | 202335 | ... | Week X |
Some Value A | 202334Value+A=B | 202335Value+B=C | Sum of all rows with the selected week X, where CapacityForDay >=SnapShotDate + Sum of previous weeks before X |
*Edited message, as original example was really bad and didnt highlight the need is cumulative sum based on the progressing weeks, with the additional conditions Table[CapacityForDay ]>=Table[SnapshotDate] and selected date 12.04.2023.
I have tried dozens of variations of this;
CALCULATE (
SUM(Table[CapacityKg]),
FILTER (
ALLEXCEPT(Table,Table[SnapshotDate]),
Table[Week] <= MAX ( Table[Week] )
), Table[CapacityForDay ]>=Table[SnapshotDate]
)
with changing the ALLEXCEPT /ALL / FILTER, but never getting the result I need.
I have a feeling the adjustment needed for that is very small, but for some reason I just cannot get it right.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @HopefulQuestion
You can try the following methods.
Measure:
Cumulative Sum = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[CapacityKg]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Week]<=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Week])))
Is this the result you expected? If not, please provide more example data and desired results.

Hi
that worked, and I also got this to work just before I read your message:
CALCULATE (
SUM(Table[CapacityKg]),
FILTER (
AllSelected( Table),
LoadGraphHistory[Week] <= MAX( Table[Week] )
))
So this is solved, thank you!
My solution with Allselected isnt as good in many situations (depending on the use case, obviously), so I might use your solution instead.
From what you described above, a simple SUM(Table[CapacityKg]) would do the trick.
If it doesn't you should add some more info on the actual data and the visuals.
Apologies for the horribly unclear example: I tried to make it more clear that I want a cumulative sum based on the weeks.
