Hi People!
I'm trying to build an income statement report and I'm at a loss with building something so apparently so simple as the cumulative subtotals.
My data table looks like this
Account | Category | Amount | Year
And I'd like to get to this:
| Category | Amount |
| Revenues | 100 |
| Costs | (40) |
| Gross profit | 60 |
| Administrative expenses | (11) |
| Other operating results | 4 |
| Operating profit | 53 |
| Financial results | (12) |
| Net income before tax | 41 |
| Income tax | (10) |
| Net profit | 31 |
So basically up until Gross profit I'm ok but how could I make it that operating profit not only adds Administrative expenses and other operating results but also the previous subtotal of Gross profit (same with the following subtotals)?
I though about making it through some power query grouping, table referencing and appending but I don't think it would be a proper way of doing it so.
Any help will be appreciated!
Hello @rodrigorsrv,
Can you please try?
1. Create a Total Amount Measure
Total Amount = SUM('Table'[Amount])
2. Create a Cumulative Subtotal Measure
Cumulative Subtotal =
CALCULATE(
[Total Amount],
FILTER(
ALL('Table'),
'Table'[CategoryOrder] <= MAX('Table'[CategoryOrder])
)
)
Thanks!
I tried as you said but I arrived to this:
Maybe I didn't fully understand but I didn't get exactly what I wanted. These running subtotales should be in the same column.
Alternatively I tried this but I think it's overly complex and not scalable:
1. Modified the data structure
2. Next, I created only one conditional measure:
Total Amount = if(AVERAGE('Table'[Level])<2,sum('Table'[Amount]),CALCULATE(
sum('Table'[Amount]),
FILTER(
ALL('Table'),
'Table'[CategoryOrder] <= MAX('Table'[CategoryOrder])
)
))
3. I've ended up with this, as you may see it wasn't really a practical solution.
