Cummulative with measure not working

I'm trying to create a cummulative calcule but it's not working.

I've created 1 measure with Earned Value which is Earned Value = ([Planned Value BAC] * [Total of % Complete]) / 100

and then I created the

EV cummulative = CALCULATE([Earned Value], FILTER(ALLSELECTED(Budget),Budget[account_period] <= MAX(Budget[account_period])))

the result is diplayed below and the total is right, but it doesn't follow the sum. I've created also BAC cummulative and Actual cost cummulative and both works.

I have to create a column Earned Value instead of a measure.

then the code below worked.

EV cummulative = CALCULATE([Earned Value], FILTER(ALLSELECTED(Budget),Budget[account_period] <= MAX(Budget[account_period])))

Tough to understand what is going on given the information provided. I take it that [Planned Value BAC] and [Total % Complete] are also measures? What are their formulas? What is the value of [Total % Complete] in the rows show below? What are your formulas for the cummulative totals that work?

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Hi Greg,

Both are measures with SUM function.

Planned Value BAC = IF(SUM(Budget[budget_rev])<>0, SUM(Budget[budget_rev]), BLANK())

Total of % Complete = SUM(Budget[% Complete])

 

This measure below works

BAC cummulative = CALCULATE([Planned Value BAC],FILTER(ALLSELECTED(Budget),Budget[account_period] <= MAX(Budget[account_period])))

Hi @ftorres,

 

You formula seems well, can you please share a pbix file with some sample data for test?

 

In addition, you can also try to use following measure to calculate cumulative based on other measure:

Commulative =
VAR currPeriod =
    MAX ( Budget[account_period] )
VAR summary =
    ADDCOLUMNS ( ALLSELECTED ( Budget ), "EV", [Earned Value] )
RETURN
    SUMX ( FILTER ( summarize, Budget[account_period] <= currPeriod ), [EV] )
