Hi
I have the following data
| Type | PoR | Amount | Month |
| A | Real | 5 | 1 |
| A | Real | 4 | 2 |
| A | Real | 5 | 3 |
| A | Real | 8 | 4 |
| A | Real | 9 | 5 |
| A | Plan | 2 | 1 |
| A | Plan | 3 | 2 |
| A | Plan | 6 | 3 |
| A | Plan | 3 | 4 |
| A | Plan | 7 | 5 |
| B | Real | 6 | 1 |
| B | Real | 7 | 2 |
| B | Real | 7 | 3 |
| B | Real | 7 | 4 |
| B | Real | 10 | 5 |
| B | Plan | 5 | 1 |
| B | Plan | 5 | 2 |
| B | Plan | 7 | 3 |
| B | Plan | 8 | 4 |
| B | Plan | 8 | 5 |
And with a measure i need to create the following absolute cumulative graph
the graph show the cumulative column by type and month. The cumulative column is the absolute value of Real - Plan for each type
Im Using this measure to create the Absolute column of Real - Plan
ABS Real-Plan =
abs(CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table[Amount] ); Table[PoR] = "Real" )
- CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table[Amount] ); Table[PoR] = "Plan" ))and im using this measure for the cumulative column that i'm graphing
Cumulative =
CALCULATE (
SUMX (Table; [ABS Real-Plan] );
FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Table[Month] ); Table[Month] <= MAX ( Table[Month] ) )
but i'm getting a strange results in the grad total on the table and in the graphs numbers. EXAMPLE for type A
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Create these measures instead
ABS Real-Plan =
ABS (
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ),
FILTER (
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Type], 'Table'[Month] ),
'Table'[PoR] = "Real"
)
)
- CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ),
FILTER (
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Type], 'Table'[Month] ),
'Table'[PoR] = "Plan"
)
)
)
Cumulative =
SUMX (
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table' ),
'Table'[Type] = MAX ( 'Table'[Type] )
&& 'Table'[PoR] = MAX ( 'Table'[PoR] )
&& [Month] <= MAX ( [Month] )
),
[ABS Real-Plan]
)
Best Regards
