Hi Guys.
I have the following situation. I need to get the cumulative based on every hour. My table has time stamp with seconds / minutes, however, my target is for a 12 hour mark. I can divide the total benchmark by 12 and apply a running sum formula, but that does a running sum based on every time stamp. I would like this running sum to be based on every hour:
Ideally, I'd like this red line to start from 3635 (43626 / 12) at 6:00PM, incrementing by 3635 every hour and at 6:00AM it should give 43626
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @azakir ,
I create a table as you mentioned.
Then I create some calculated columns and measures.
Here are calculated columns DAX codes:
Hour = HOUR('Table'[Timestamp])
HourlyBin =
'Table'[Timestamp]
- SECOND ( 'Table'[Timestamp] ) * ( 1 / 86400 )
- MINUTE ( 'Table'[Timestamp] ) * ( 1 / 1440 )
IncrementPerHour = DIVIDE(43626,12)
Here are measures DAX codes:
TargetRunningSum =
VAR StartTime = TIME(18,0,0)
VAR CurrentTime = MAX('Table'[HourlyBin])
VAR _Incremental = MAX('Table'[IncrementPerHour])
RETURN
IF(CurrentTime >= StartTime,
(DATEDIFF(StartTime, CurrentTime,HOUR)+1) *_Incremental ,
BLANK()
)
CumulativeSum =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Value]),
FILTER(
ALLSELECTED('Table'),
'Table'[HourlyBin] <= MAX('Table'[HourlyBin])
)
)
Finally when you add columns you want, you will see what you want.
