Thank you for the quick response but the suggested measure doesn't seem to work.

Most likely due to the fact that Weight (add) is aready a measure by itself. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

 

Cumm  = CALCULATE(SUM([Weight (ad)]),filter(date,date[date] <=maxx(date,date[date])))

    amitchandak Unfortunately it's not possible to share the dataset since I'm working directly with the data from our ERP database.


    Perhaps some idditional info can be of help:

     

    Table - Value_posts

    Column: Article

    Column: Quantity

    Column: Adjustment (this is a checkbox within the ERP and translates to 0 or 1)

    Column: Weight

    Column: Posting date

    Measure: Weight (add)

    Weight (add) = -1*CALCULATE(SUM('Value_posts'[Weight]);'Value_posts'[adjustment]=0)

     

    Table:Date

    This is just a regular date table (incl hirarchy)

     

    What I'm looking for is a matrix with a running total on the measure "weight (add)" per month / year.

     

    Calendar year      JAN      FEB     MARCH    APRIL   ETC

    2017

    2018

    2018

     

    Both years and months come from the date table and the values presented should  come from the Weight add measure. Presented as a running total.

     

    Hope this info can be of help.

     

    Thanks in advance.
