Cumulative Total with Breakdown
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:
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?
Anonymous , try like
Cumulative Bill Count =
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT(Fact_Legislation_Unpivot[BillID]),
FILTER(
ALLSELECTED(Dim_Date),
Dim_Date[Date] <= MAX(Dim_Date[Date]))

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.

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.
