Hello,

 

thank you so much for your help.

 

But actually I want something like:

 

CALC =
CALCULATE (
    FIRSTNONBLANK ( 'Table'[CALC], 1 ),
    FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] = ( EARLIER ( 'Table'[ID] ) - 1 ) )
)

 

I would like essentially to calculate CALC based on the Previous CALC available.

 

Thank you so much

Hi spaxia ,

 

There is no recursive concept in DAX.

You have defined CALC with dax, but CALC in dax also needs to use this dax to define it, then it will fall into an endless loop. 
You can refer to the document I attached in the previous answer

 

Best Regards,
