Hi -
I have below data in Table View and need a Dax formula to compute a column with the total based on prior week's computed number (prior total * factor) for each category:
Category | Date | factor | Total | calculation |
A | 01/01/24 | - | 100 | |
A | 01/08/24 | 1.01682 | 101.68 | (100*1.01682) |
A | 01/15/24 | 1.01734 | 103.45 | (101.68*1.01734) |
A | 01/22/24 | 1.01939 | 105.45 | (103.45*1.01939) |
A | 01/29/24 | 1.01854 | 107.41 | (105.45*1.01854) |
B | 01/01/24 | 1.01792 | 50 | |
B | 01/08/24 | 1.01612 | 50.81 | |
B | 01/15/24 | 1.01332 | 51.48 | |
B | 01/22/24 | 1.01134 | 52.07 | |
B | 01/29/24 | 1.01166 | 52.67 |

Hi @TYL001 ,
You can try below column expression.
Column =
VAR TempTable = FILTER('Table','Table'[Category]=EARLIER('Table'[Category]) && 'Table'[Date]<=EARLIER('Table'[Date]))
VAR FirstVal = MAXX(TOPN(1,TempTable,'Table'[Date],1),'Table'[Total])
RETURN
PRODUCTX(
TempTable,
VAR MinDateOfCat = MINX(TempTable,'Table'[Date])
RETURN
IF('Table'[Date]=MinDateOfCat,1,'Table'[factor])
)*FirstVal
Did I answer your question? If yes, pls mark my post as a solution and appreciate your Kudos !
Thank you~

@TYL001 I will see if I can give this a try but this looks very much like recursion and DAX hates recursion. It *might* be possible with PREVIOUS and visual calculations.
@Greg_Deckler Thanks for taking a stab at this. I was trying to mimic the solution to another post I found (but it had no category), but the code didn't work out (returning NaN). Below is what I tried:
CALCULATION =
VAR _MINVALUE =
DATA[Total]
*CALCULATE(
SUM(DATA[factor]),
FILTER(DATA,DATA[Date]=MIN('DATA'[Date]])&&DATA[Category]=DATA[Category])
)
RETURN
IF(
DATA[Date]=MIN('DATA'[Date]])&&DATA[Category]=DATA[Category],
_MINVALUE,
CALCULATE(
PRODUCT(DATA[factor]),
FILTER(DATA,DATA[Date]<=EARLIER(DATA[Date])&&DATA[Category]=DATA[Category])
)*DATA[factor]
)
