SUM OF PREVIOUS columns , SAME ROW, conditional formating

Hello

 

I'm currently working on a task and would appreciate your assistance. I'm managing three cities, each with a fixed bicycle capacity. Additionally, there are eight bicycle stations, and the capacity of each station changes based on demand. The stations need to be filled in a sequential order within each city. If the total number of bicycles needed to fill the stations exceeds the capacity, I would like the respective station to be highlighted. When this occurs, the city's capacity will be filled to its maximum.

for example:

I want to create this matrix in the Powerbi matrix . Rows are City name and Capacity.

And column is Stations. And value is “number of requests”.

Given the sequential nature of station filling, for instance, if 12+13 exceeds 20 for Station B in City 1, I wish to have Station B highlighted. Additionally, when we fill Station B, the city's capacity is replenished back to 20. Consequently, in Station E, we might encounter a shortage again, as 10+7+15 would be greater than or equal to 20.

Similarly, in City 2, if 7+1+4 exceeds 12 for Station C, I desire to highlight Station C. Likewise, Station G should be highlighted if 3+2+3+5 surpasses 12.

There is an issue with City3 - the mark should be on station G, not H.

The yellow mark is equivalent to cumul=0

Similarly, in City 2, if 7+1+4 exceeds 12 for Station C,

It doesn't exceed 12.

it is greater than or equal 12
