Cumulative Total Changes with Date Hierarchy Filter

[sboobar]

I finally found how to create a cumulative total measure, but now I'm running into the problem of the cumulative total changing when I filter to see certain dates.

I want the cumulative total to always start from 0, or the first production date, but still be able to only view specific points in time.

For example when I view only 2023- the cumulative total starts from January 2023, not the first production date back in 2019. The Date column used below is essentially record date.

Right now my measure is this:

Cumulative Water =

CALCULATE(

    SUM('MRC_DailyProdDisp'[GrossWaterProd]),

    FILTER(

        ALLSELECTED('MRC_DailyProdDisp'),

        ('MRC_DailyProdDisp'[Date] <= MAX('MRC_DailyProdDisp'[Date])

        )

    ))

@sboobar You can do this using Better Running Total, using CALCULATE in a single table data model is going to give you wonky results a lot of times. Better Running Total - Microsoft Power BI Community

You *might* be able to get there switching your ALLSELECTED to ALL

I was able to create the cumulative (or running total) without 'calculate' but I still have the same issues when it comes to viewing/filtering to specific time periods- my measure changes its cumulative total depending on the dates I have selected. The measure I used is below:

Cumulative Water =

VAR _Date = MAX(MRC_DailyProdDisp[Date])

VAR _Table = FILTER(ALLSELECTED('MRC_DailyProdDisp'),[Date] <= _Date)

RETURN

SUMX(_Table,[GrossWaterProd])

I want the cumulative total to no matter what start from the first date (say in 2002) and even if I'm only viewing 2023 data in a table I still want the cumulative total to start from 2002. Currently when I view only 2023 data it starts the cumulative calculation in January 2023.

This worked in SQL using Spotfire, just trying to find DAX equivalent for Power BI

Sum([GrossWaterProd]) over (Intersect([PropNum],AllPrevious([Date])))
