Running total of a running total

Hello, 

 

I have created a running total using a calendar table and IDs using this formula:

Cumulative count =

CALCULATE(

COUNTA('Table'[IDs]),

FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Calendar table'[Date]),

ISONORAFTER('Calendar table'[Date],MAX('Calendar table'[Date]),DESC)))

 

I have the first two columns in the table below, is there a way to get the third column by computing a cumulative count of my initial cumulative count? The third column is needed for an availability calculation I am doing at week level rather than day. I have tried nesting and summing but because it is a measure I cannot sum. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

 

DateCumulative countCumulative count of cumulative count
15/06/201010
16/06/202030
17/06/203060
18/06/2040100
19/06/2050150

Please try this expression in a new measure.

 

Cumulative count X2 =

CALCULATE(

SUMX('Calendar table', [Cumulative count]),

FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Calendar table'[Date]),

ISONORAFTER('Calendar table'[Date],MAX('Calendar table'[Date]),DESC)))

 

If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.
