I am looking to calculate a cumulative total of a column based on another column by sequential dates. There are orders for multiple years in the same table. The formula I currently have is making it so it calculates a cumulative total starting with the first date all the way up through the last date in our list, spanning 5 years. How do I make it go year by year?

Hi @Anonymous
Thanks for reaching out to us.
please try this measure
Cumulative Total by year = SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),year('Table'[date])=YEAR(MIN('Table'[date])) && 'Table'[date]<= MIN('Table'[date])),[value])

Hi @Anonymous,
Let's assume you already have a measure for calculating cumulative total. You can use the this formula to make it go year by year instead of all data:
Cumulative Year by Year = CALCULATE([Total],DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))
Works for you? Mark this post as a solution if it does!
