Cumlative sum with only distinct values

Dear,

 

I have the following table: 

Yazid_1-1716917990597.png

 

Where I'd like to create a column with the cumulative sum of the "YTD_Actuals_per_project" in fuction of distinct values for "Project_Act"

 

Hope I was clear enough.

 

Thnaks in advance for your support.

Hi @Yazid - We will use measure for Metrics, can you please try to create a new measure using below calculation

Cumulative YTD Actuals =
CALCULATE(
SUM('YourTableName'[YTD_Actuals_per_project]),
FILTER(
ALLSELECTED('YourTableName'),
'YourTableName'[Project_Act] <= MAX('YourTableName'[Project_Act])
)
)

 

you can create a measure that calculates the cumulative sum of YTD_Actuals_per_project based on distinct Project_Act values and drag and drop on report view and check the results. it works

Dear,

 

Thanks for you reply ! However, it should be an increasing function like the green curve..
