Rolling Total

Hello Everyone, 

 

I need some assistance with my rolling total, I have a date hierarchy and my rolling total works for days, months and quarters but for some strange reason once I role up the hierarchy to the year it shows only the last months rolling total for the year. 

 

Below is my formula 

 

Price Rolling Total =

CALCULATE ( SUM ( NewMeasures[Price]), DATESQTD('Calendar'[Date] ))


Thank you

Hi @batman ,

You can create another new measure as below and put this new measure to replace the original measure onto the table visual as below screenshot...

Measure = SUMX ( VALUES ('Calendar'[Date] ), [Price Rolling Total] ) 

In addition, you can refer the following links to try to solve your problem...

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. And share the visual field settings as below screenshot. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

Hi @batman ,

I updated your sample pbix file, please find the details in the attachment.

1. Create a measure as below

Measure = 
SUMX (
    GROUPBY ( 'Calendar', 'Calendar'[Date].[Year], 'Calendar'[Date].[Quarter] ),
    [Rolling Cost Total QTD]
)

2. Put the above measure onto the matrix to replace the original measure [Rolling Cost Total QTD]

Thank you so much for taking your time and updating the workbook, a quick question for you what if I wanted everything to stay the same when rolled up so YEAR Same, Quarter same, Months Same but when drilled down to the days have a rolling total going?

Hi,

This has to do with the quarter changing and filter context.

In short:

Data:

ValtteriN_2-1665148754690.png

 



Without row context this measure will return latest quarter:

Quarter = QUARTER(MAX('Table (2)'[Date]))

Example:
ValtteriN_1-1665148621159.png

 

Notice that on a yearly level quarter = 4

Because of this QTD will return the lastest quarter values (only October values).


I recommend checking this article about the running totals topic: https://www.sqlbi.com/articles/computing-running-totals-in-dax/

I hope this post helps to solve your issue and if it does consider accepting it as a solution and giving the post a thumbs up!
