Hello all, I need some help figuring out how or if Power BI is capable of doing the following:
I am creating a new column, [Exposure] that measures the difference between [Total Cost] and [Amount Billed].
For some specific projects, lets call these "GIM" projects, there is a special rule that says if we reach a total [Exposure] value of $210,000 for all "GIM" projects, then any subsequent project classified within "GIM" will have an [EXPOSURE] of 0.
Here is an example of what I mean.
This is only true for "GIM" projects, and all other non-GIM projects should be left unaffected by this rule. The problem I am having is finding a way to let the rule ONLY affect the subsequent "GIM" projects after a total of 210k is reached.
Is this possible in Power BI? Any insight or advice would be appreciated here.

Hi @lddiaz
Try this.
First Add an Index Column from the Query Editor...
Then you might be able to use this column
Exposure =
VAR CumulativeExposure =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Table1[Total Cost] ) - SUM ( Table1[Amount Billed] ),
FILTER (
Table1,
LEFT ( Table1[Project Name], 3 ) = "GIM"
&& Table1[Index] < EARLIER ( Table1[Index] )
)
)
RETURN
IF (
LEFT ( Table1[Project Name], 3 ) = "GIM"
&& CumulativeExposure < 210,
Table1[Total Cost] - Table1[Amount Billed]
)
