Is there a way to do a cumulative Variance in DAX, add a new column? something like this? Thank you!
Thank you guys. I guess I wasn't clear. Here is what I'd like to do (and I was able to do it easily in Excel), shown in figure below. See formulas. @Ashish_Mathur@v-jiascu-msft@Anonymous

Here is the file contains my data, can you please help us?

Hi @Anonymous,
The logic is different in the Power BI. Please try a measure like this:
Measure 4 = VAR maxindex = CALCULATE ( MAX ( Data[Index] ), FILTER ( ALL ( Sort ), Sort[Sort] = MAX ( Sort[Sort] ) - 1 ) ) RETURN IF ( ISBLANK ( maxindex ), BLANK (), [CumulRate] - CALCULATE ( SUM ( Data[DOLLARS] ), FILTER ( ALL ( Data ), Data[Index] <= maxindex ) ) / CALCULATE ( SUM ( Data[HRS] ), FILTER ( ALL ( Data ), Data[Index] <= maxindex ) ) )
Best Regards,

Hi,
the file is not available. Can share one more time?
Tks
Hi,
If are comfortable in making a new table then you can follow the following steps to achieve the required difference:
Make a new table:
Table = GROUPBY(Data,Data[Category],"cuml",SUMX(CURRENTGROUP(),Data[Dollars]),"hour",SUMX(CURRENTGROUP(),Data[Hrs]))
add following columns:
1. Index = RANKX('Table','Table'[Data_Category])
2. cumldollar = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[cuml]),ALL('Table'),'Table'[Index]<=EARLIER('Table'[Index]))
3. cumlhour = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[hour]),ALL('Table'),'Table'[Index]<=EARLIER('Table'[Index]))
4. CumulRate = 'Table'[cumldollar]/'Table'[cumlhour]
5. Column = 'Table'[CumulRate]-IF('Table'[Index]=1,'Table'[CumulRate],LOOKUPVALUE('Table'[CumulRate],'Table'[Index],'Table'[Index]-1))

Hi,
Accumulation has to happen on some basis - be it Date or a serial number? What is your basis of accumulation?
Hi @Anonymous,
Can you share the original data please? It's an expected result here. We need the original data to write a DAX formula.
Best Regards,
Dale
On What basis did you sort the rows in that order ?
