    ElliotP Sorry about the original post. It was from my phone and had typos :smileywink:

     

    Okay here is the formula for Running Total as a Calculated Column (prorerly formatted)

     

    Running Total COLUMN =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'All Web Site Data (2)'[UniquePageviews] ),
    ALL ( 'All Web Site Data (2)' ),
    'All Web Site Data (2)'[Date] <= EARLIER ( 'All Web Site Data (2)'[Date] )
)

     

    And as you can see it works! :smileyhappy:

     

     

    And here's the MEASURE formula

     

    Running Total MEASURE = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'All Web Site Data (2)'[UniquePageviews] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'All Web Site Data (2)' ),
        'All Web Site Data (2)'[Date] <= MAX ( 'All Web Site Data (2)'[Date] )
    )
)

     

    Which also works...

Hi Anonymous, here is an example I am using that works for all filter selections on related tables. I am doing my date segmentation based on a calendar table.
 
CumulativeInvoiceQty =
CALCULATE
( SUM ( FACT_SalesOrderLines[InvoicedSOQty] ),
FILTER
(
ALLSELECTED ( 'DATE_TABLE' ),
('DATE_TABLE'[Date]) <= MAX ( DATE_TABLE[Date] )
)
)

thanks neilcotton , I think the lack of a date table is probaly what's causing me the trouble I'm having. Will add one now and see where it gets me.
