Cumulative totals

Hi All,

I am trying to calculate the spend running total for the past two Fiscal Years that start in July and end in June.  I have created 2 columns to  seperate FY19 spend and FY20 Spend.  I have tried to use the DATESYTD function in dax but the column is blank seen below.  Is there anyway to fix this or is there a better way to make the calculation? Any help would be really appreciated!

 

Thanks

@Greg_Deckler I tried using the running total quick measure and I was able to get the running total that I wanted but it was summing it up by the calendar year not the fiscal year, is there a place that I can add the  DATESYTD function in the measure that will change the order of the calculation? I have provided the text of the measure below.

 

FY19 running total in Month =
CALCULATE(
    SUM('All POs by delv date'[FY19]),
    FILTER(
        CALCULATETABLE(
            SUMMARIZE(
                'All POs by delv date',
                'All POs by delv date'[Deliv. Date].[MonthNo],
                'All POs by delv date'[Deliv. Date].[Month]
            ),
            ALLSELECTED('All POs by delv date')
        ),
        ISONORAFTER(
            'All POs by delv date'[Deliv. Date].[MonthNo], MAX('All POs by delv date'[Deliv. Date].[MonthNo]), DESC,
            'All POs by delv date'[Deliv. Date].[Month], MAX('All POs by delv date'[Deliv. Date].[Month]), DESC
        )

@Anonymous Well, would need to understand the data and have sample data posted as text, but you can check these out:
