Cumulative Max

HI ! 

I have a table with date and value column. I would like to calculate the cumulative total value, which I got, but also the cumulative max of the cumulative total value.

I tried to use Maxx but performance is terrible wtith a large table. I tried to use a virtual table, but max does not accpet a column from it

Is there a better alternative?


My formulas:

Cumulative Total = 

 CALCULATE (
Sum('tab'[Values];
FILTER (
ALLSELECTED( 'tab' );
'tab'[Dates]<= MAX ( 'tab'[Dates] )
)
)


Cumulative Max of Cumulative Total =

CALCULATE (
MAXx(
FILTER (
 
ALLSELECTED( 'tab' );
'tab'[Dates]<= MAX ( 'tab'[Dates] )
); [Cumulative Total ]
))

Just try calculate(max()...

Cum max = CALCULATE (
MAX('Table'[Values]),
FILTER (
ALLSELECTED( 'Table' ),
'Table'[Dates]<= MAX ( 'Table'[Dates] )))

Thank you for your reply, but Max does not accept acolumn form a virtual table as parameter.

is your computation depending on user filter choices or can it be done as a calculated column?

Hi! It requires user to filter date and a group  of stock

 

Thank you
