Hi,
I need a DAX formula to accumulate spend during the year per Vendor.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @KasRotodyne
I recommend that you add a Calendar (Date) table to the model and connect it to the Main table on Date columns. A Date table has continuous unique dates. This can avoid missing data if Main table doesn't have continuous dates for the slicer or axis.
Then build relationships between tables following the star schema
At last, use the following measure to calculate the cumulative value. I have attached a sample file at bottom for your reference. Hope it helps.
Cumulative Amount =
VAR _date = MAX('Calendar'[Date])
RETURN
CALCULATE(SUM(InvoiceMain[Amount]),ALL('Calendar'),'Calendar'[Date]<=_date)

@KasRotodyne , Best to use date table
Cumulative Spend =
CALCULATE(
SUM(T_PurInvoiceMain[BasicCurrNetPrice_VendInvoice]),
Filter(
ALL(Date[Date],
'Date'[Date] <= MAX('Date'[Date]))))
If only year cumulative, then it is ytd
YTD Sales = CALCULATE(T_PurInvoiceMain[BasicCurrNetPrice_VendInvoice])),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))
To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.

It does not work sadly....
Also After Calculate I need a DAX Function
