Cumulative Total with Breakdown

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am currently creating a visual where I am taking the cumulative total of the count distinct of bills. This calculation works as expected & displays the numbers as expected:

Cumulative Bill Count =

CALCULATE(

DISTINCTCOUNT(Fact_Legislation_Unpivot[BillID]),

FILTER(

ALLSELECTED(Fact_Legislation_Unpivot),

Fact_Legislation_Unpivot[Legislation Date] <= MAX(Dim_Date[Date])))

However, when I try and colour this by using a category, the values are all duplicated and the visual breaks:

Does anything think they can help?

Maybe:

Cumulative Bill Count =
VAR __Category = MAX(Fact_Legislation_Unpivot[Category]
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT(Fact_Legislation_Unpivot[BillID]),
FILTER(
ALLSELECTED(Fact_Legislation_Unpivot),
Fact_Legislation_Unpivot[Legislation Date] <= MAX(Dim_Date[Date]),
Fact_Legislation_Unpivot[Category]=__Category))

If not, sample data would greatly assist. 

Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.

@Anonymous , try like

Cumulative Bill Count =
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT(Fact_Legislation_Unpivot[BillID]),
FILTER(
ALLSELECTED(Dim_Date),
Dim_Date[Date] <= MAX(Dim_Date[Date]))

This worked perfectly, thanks for the quick response @amitchandak !
