Hi Everyone,
I need a dax function that provides a cumulative sum based on a variable range of dates.
I have a table with details of the Contract:
| N contract | Customer | Start date | End date | 
| #1 | AAA | 01/01/2020 | 29/02/2020 | 
| #2 | AAA | 01/03/2020 | 30/06/2020 | 
And a table of Deliveries:
| customer | date of delivery | quantity | 
| AAA | 02/01/2020 | 1 | 
| AAA | 15/02/2020 | 3 | 
| AAA | 10/03/2020 | 2 | 
| AAA | 05/04/2020 | 3 | 
| AAA | 29/05/2020 | 1 | 
I need to monitor the cumulative sum of quantity delivered, for each month, referring to the duration of the contract.
Example of expected result:
| Month | q delivered | cumulative sum | 
| Jen | 1 | 1 | 
| Feb | 3 | 4 | 
| Mar | 2 | 2 | 
| Apr | 3 | 5 | 
| May | 1 | 6 | 
| Jun | 0 | 6 | 
Can anyone please help?
Thanks

@STF29 , your question is interesting and here's a tricky solution.
Convert your contract table to the following form for the purpose of filtering in DAX,
| Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! | 
| DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |
