How to calculate a running total of Vulnerabilities?

Hello,

 

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to create a running total trend line of vulnerabilities from my organizations Fortify SAST tool. Below is an example of the data that I am currently exporting into Excel. What I am trying to do is show a running total of vulnerabilities by Severity at an enterprise level for all applications, and then at an individual application level. I would also create trend lines for OWASP status, Developer Status, etc.

 

Example Data

Vuln IDSeverityStatusDeveloper StatusIntroduced DateOWASPApplicationIDReleaseIDCategory
1CriticalFix ValidatedWill Not Fix1/2/2018A11234521212Injection
2CriticalNewWill Not Fix2/6/2019A21234521212Session Mgmt

6MediumRe-OpenedIn Progress1/16/2021A9111112121213rd party
7LowExistingIn Progress2/3/2021A112345321321Injection

 

I have been able to create the trend line data I am looking for with Excel formulas by running a count of every status every week. Here is an example of the data and trend that I am trying to reproduce in Power BIextrend.png

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

 

Eric

Hi @erhine1204  - 

 

Try this code for your running count:

Running Total =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( Vulnerabilities ),
    ALLSELECTED ( Vulnerabilities ),
    FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( DateTab[Date] ), DateTab[Date] <= MAX ( DateTab[Date] ) )
)

This assumes you have a Calendar table linked to Vulnerabilities based on "Intorduced Date".

 

If this doesn't work, please share DAX that you have tried and/or a copy of your PBIX with sensitive data removed (link to google drive, OneDrive, dropbox, etc)

 

Hope this helps

David
