I've searched the forum, but the main advice is to create a measure.
I need to create a calculated column, which will sum the cumulative value during the year, for each service in each company.
| Date | Value | Company | Service | Cumulative value |
| Jan-21 | 12413 | a | x | 12413 |
| Feb-21 | 235 | a | x | 12648 |
| Mar-21 | 235235 | a | x | 247883 |
| Jan-21 | 13536 | b | x | 13536 |
| Feb-21 | 4575 | b | x | 18111 |
| Mar-21 | 34533 | b | x | 52644 |
I tried to make it this way:
CALCULATE(SUMX(Sheet1,Sheet1[Value]),FILTER(Sheet1,Sheet1[Date]<=MAX(Sheet1[Date])
Unfortunately this is not the good direction.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @pietra ,
Please try this code to create a calcualted column.
Cumulative value =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Sheet1'[Value] ),
FILTER (
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Sheet1', 'Sheet1'[Company] ),
'Sheet1'[Date] <= EARLIER ( 'Sheet1'[Date] )
)
)
My Sample:
Result is as below.

I tried using your code in a similar problem I have.. However, it doesn't accept the last part:
EARLIER ( 'Sheet1'[Date] )
it doesn't accept the column name it gives me an error and says "can't find name" even though I just refereenced the same column in the first part:
'Sheet1'[Date] <= EARLIER ( 'Sheet1'[Date] )
any help on how to resolve it?
Thank you so much for the support, it worked.
why does it need to be a column and not a measure? do you have a date table?
