The thing is i want to add first is the biggest number down to the lowest under # Errors column

xRTP_1-1659386527872.png

 

Note: All 3 columns are just 1 column, 1st column is Test, 2nd column is count of Test and third is the Cumulative of Test.

Appreciate your answers!

Hey @Anonymous ,

 

Try this measure

measure =
var currenterrors = 
calculate( sum( 'yourtable'[# errors] ) )
return
calculate(
sumx(
filter( 'your table'
, 'yourtable'[#errors} >= currenterrors )
)
, 'yourtable'[#errors}
)
, all('yourtable'[test]
)


Hopefully, this provides what you are looking for.
If not provide sample data, and describe the expected result based on the data you provide.

 

Regards,

Tom
