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! |
