I want to find out the Cumulative sum for individual materials. I have highlighted the desired result in yellow. Is this possible in DAX?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Neel98 ,
You can achieve this in Power BI. You need to add an [Index] or [Date] column to determine the order of the data.
Here I suggest you to add an Index by material group in Power Query Editor.
Sort your table as you want> Group all rows by Material column > Add index column by M query.
Table.AddIndexColumn([Count],"Index",1)
For reference:
Create Row Number for Each Group in Power BI using Power Query
Calculated column:
Cummulative Sum =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Qty] ),
FILTER (
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Material] ),
'Table'[Index] <= EARLIER ( 'Table'[Index] )
)
)
Result is as below.

Hi @Neel98 just create measure like Total quantity = SUM(<YOUR TABLE NAME>[Qty]) and put it on table / matrix.
