I am trying to get a running total of translated words in progress and subtract the words in progress once they are completed.
Running Total Measure = CALCULATE(SUM(DataDump1[Calc Words In Progress]),
FILTER(ALL(DataDump1), DataDump1[Sent To Language Teams] <=
MAX(DataDump1[Sent To Language Teams])
&& YEAR(DataDump1[Sent To Language Teams] =
YEAR(DataDump1[Sent To Language Teams]))))
I am not sure if I can use a date slicer to get what I am looking for. I have tried and am not able to get the result I want.
I was hoping someone can help me edit the formula above or explain how this can be done so I can see how many translated words are in progress based off how many words a person can translate in a given month.
Thank you in advance for all the help and advice you can give!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thank you trying to help. I was able to find the solution. I had it all along I just had to put the date slicer as a visual and it worked.

Hi, @v-juanli-msft Thank you for responding.
I am trying to take the running total that I have calculated but subtract the translated words in progress from the running total after a certain date.
The example data:
| translated words in progress | start date | Delivery date |
| 2500 | 1/2/2018 | 1/15/2018 |
| 3200 | 1/5/2018 | 1/25/2018 |
| 3000 | 1/10/2018 | 1/25/2018 |
| 2000 | 1/25/2018 | 2/15/2018 |
| 2500 | 2/5/2018 | 2/25/2018 |
| 1500 | 2/10/2018 | 3/1/2018 |
| 1000 | 3/5/2018 | 3/26/2018 |
| 5000 | 3/15/2018 | 4/2/2018 |
| 6000 | 3/30/2018 | 4/20/2018 |
So I want to create a graph that shows the running total of translated words in progress. However, when the date for delivery date passes. I want the number of translated words in progress to subtract from the running total.
Example, on 1/10/2018 I want the running total to show 8,700. Which it does in the formula I have posted in the original post. This next step is where I am confused on how to perform this.
I want to use a slicer on delivery date and look at words in progress after a certain date. For example, I want to look at a date period from 1/16/2018 to Today. Since I am not looking at 1/15/2018 I want 2,500 to subtract from the running total. I should see 6,200 for the running total now.
I hope I have made it a little more clear as to what I am trying to accomplish. If not I can try explaining it a different way.
Thank you for your help and looking into this issue for me.
I am new to power bi and trying to learn all this while building this report. So any help or tips are much appreciated and welcomed! 🙂
Hi @Anonymous
How do you mean "use a date slicer to get what I am looking for"?
What is the condition of running total?
Best Regards
Maggie
