Aggregation Sum Issue

Hi there,

 

I'm desperately wanting to get this solved as I've been struggling to find a right way to get it solved. 
I have a set of data with date, overtime hours, and team, and I'd like to pull a line graph with x-axis of timeline (month-year) and y-axis of OT hours. The graph is going to display all 3 teams' OT hours. However, the hours sum for each month is always based on the sum total from Jan 2023. Eg. for the total OT hours in May 2023, it'd be the total OT hrs from Jan 2023, Feb 2023, Mar, 2023, Apr 2023, and May 2023.

What's the best way to create such formula in dax?

sample data set:

DateOT HoursTeam
1/1/20236A
1/7/20234A
1/18/20235B
2/3/20237B
2/28/20233

3/5/20236A
3/29/20233B
4/6/20235B
4/15/202310A
4/23/202312A
4/28/20238B
5/2/202313B
5/6/202310A
5/1212A



Thank you!

Hi @gabrielmission7 

 

If you have a calendar table, you can compute the aggregation by using TOTALYTD (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/totalytd-function-dax)

 

 

Measure = TOTALYTD(SUM(Table[OT Hours]),Calendar[Date])
