hi, i have datas that look like the following example:
i need to add another column to the graph with a cumulative sum of the "value" column but it has to restart from 0 on every subcategory (SCAT). i can't figure out how to do it, can someone help pls?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Samuele_M , Try to use window function
Cumm Based on subcategory= CALCULATE([Your measure], Window(1,ABS,0,REL, ALLSELECTED('Table'[Category],'Table'[subcategory]),ORDERBY('Table'[subcategory],asc),,partitionBy('Table'[Category])))

Ty!! this works but i have so many subcategories that it takes few minutes to load; is there any way to optimize the measure? will it be faster if i make it in powerquery following this guide? https://gorilla.bi/power-query/running-total-by-category/
