Hello everyone,
Intro: Im new comer to dax and encounter a problem in dax. Really appreciate your help!
Problem description:
1. Monthly subtotal appear only in the first week
2. That subtotal "can be" accumulative
Simplified Example:
Month | Week | Date | Sales | Month Total (What i want) | Cumulative Month Total (What i want) |
Jan | 1 | 2023-01-01 | 5 | 25 | 25 |
Jan | 2 | 2023-01-08 | 5 | 0 | 25 |
Jan | 3 | 2023-01-15 | 5 | 0 | 25 |
Jan | 4 | 2023-01-22 | 5 | 0 | 25 |
Jan | 5 | 2023-01-29 | 5 | 0 | 25 |
Feb | 1 | 2023-02-05 | 5 | 20 | 45 |
Feb | 2 | 2023-02-12 | 5 | 0 | 45 |
Feb | 3 | 2023-02-19 | 5 | 0 | 45 |
Feb | 4 | 2023-02-26 | 5 | 0 | 45 |
The codes I write:
1. Month Total=
IF(MIN([WEEK])=1,
CALCULATE([Sales], ALLEXCEPT([Month]),
0)
2. Cumulative Month Total=
CALCULATE([Month Total], FILTER(ALL(Calendar),Calendar[Date]<=MAX(Calendar[Date])))
Result:
For the 1st code, i get what I want. But for the 2nd code its not working.
Can anyone help! Thx!!!

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Arthur94 ,
I suggest you to create a calendar table with [YearMonth] column.
Calendar =
ADDCOLUMNS (
CALENDARAUTO (),
"Year", YEAR ( [Date] ),
"MonthNum", MONTH ( [Date] ),
"Month", FORMAT ( [Date], "MMM" ),
"WeekStart",
[Date] - WEEKDAY ( [Date], 1 ) + 1,
"YearMonth",
YEAR ( [Date] ) * 100
+ MONTH ( [Date] )
)
Measure:
Cumulative Month Total =
CALCULATE (
[Month Total],
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Calendar' ),
'Calendar'[YearMonth] <= MAX ( 'Calendar'[YearMonth] )
)
)
Result is as below.

Sorry for the table format. Realized the date and sales are to close after posted. Sales are 5 for each week.
