Cumulative Sum Everything before the Selected Date But Ignore the Date Slicer

Hello everyone. I have a cumulative sum measure looks like below. It works fine. However, it only starts accumulating starting the start date on the date slicer. For example, if a store oepned and started having sales in 2015, it only accumulates starting 2018 if the date slicer is selected to start at 2018. I want it to accumulate starting the first possible date in the DimDate table no matter how date slicer is selected. How can I work around this? Thanks in advance! 

 

 

# Running Total Count = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM(SalesTable[Count]),
    FILTER(
        ALLSELECTED(SalesTable),
        SalesTable[SaleDate]<=MAX(DimDate[Date])
    )
)

@Jihwan_Kim @Greg_Deckler Thank you both for your help. I got it working with the following. 

 

CALCULATE(
    SUM(SalesTable[Count]),
    ALL(DimDate),
    FILTER(
        ALLSELECTED(SalesTable[SaleDate]),
        SalesTable[SaleDate]<=MAX(DimDate[Date])
    )
)

Hi,

Instead of using ALLSELECTED, please try using ALL, and check if it suits your requirement.

 

Thanks.

Hi @Jihwan_Kim, thank you for the quick reply. I had tried All, but with All, it calculates for all stores and ignores the store filter. I do want to keep the ability to calculate for only selected store.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

I changed it to the following. Looks like it's doing the same thing as my original formula. It only starts accumulating starting the start date on date slicer. 

# Running Total Count = 
VAR _maxDate = MAX(DimDate[Date])
VAR _table = FILTER(ALLSELECTED(SalesTable), SalesTable[SaleDate]<=_maxDate)

RETURN
SUMX(_table, SalesTable[Count])

    )
)
