Accumulate Monthly Values
Hi,
after hours of research and workarounds I'm still struggeling with a huge problem.
I have a list of demands with the column "close date", the column "service" and the column "efforts". Now I'd like to have a stacked column chart with a y-axis displaying the effort and x-axis dsplaying the months from January to the actual month and the stacks should represent the service.
In addition the values from the previous month should be added to the next month.
In the end it should look like this with increasing values but I'm not able to addup the effort from the previous month.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks you!

Ok fixed the problem.
I forgot to add .[Date]
So the solution looks like this:
EffortYTD = TOTALYTD(SUM(Table[Effort)]); Table[Closed Date].[Date])

Ive try this solution and it works, but I dont know how to use in two distinct years.
Can you help me?hi, in this case you need a cumulative Total

Vvelarde Thank you for your input.
Now I get the error: Calculation error in measure 'Report'[EffortYTD]: A date column containing duplicate dates was specified in call to function 'DATESYTD'. This is not supported.
I know what that means but no idea how to fix this...
Anyhow I think, this is not going to solve my problem because I use the 'closed date' in the Axis field to split the Sum('effort) values into the different month. So it will always just show me the values for each month and it will not add them up. Correct?
