Running Total that works across 2 different columns/dimensions

[philip_nwdba]

I have a running total DAX calculation that works based on the Month column in my date table.

CALCULATE(
	[Volume],
	FILTER(
		ALLSELECTED('Date'[Month]),
		ISONORAFTER('Date'[Month], MAX('Date'[Month]), DESC)
	)
)

I have another table in my semantic model called Fiscal period. I want the user to be able to see the running total of volume regardless of which column they are viewing the data by either Month or Fiscal Period. I could create another measure using the below code.

CALCULATE(
	[Period],
	FILTER(
		ALLSELECTED('Fiscal Period'[Period]),
		ISONORAFTER('Fiscal Period'[Period], MAX('Fiscal Period'[Period]), DESC)
	)
)

However that isnt very user friendly having 2 measures. Is there a way of creating a running total measure that will work against the 'Fiscal Period'[Period] column and the 'Date'[Month] column.

Hello @philip_nwdba,

Can you please try this approach:

Unified Running Total = 
CALCULATE(
    [Volume],
    FILTER(
        ALLSELECTED('Unified Date'[Unified Date]),
        ISONORAFTER('Unified Date'[Unified Date], MAX('Unified Date'[Unified Date]), DESC)
    )
)

Hi, what is the unified date column?
