    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...

Hey Sean, this works great and was able to create a measure along these lines. However, I am running into an issue where the cumulative value is null since there are no records for that week for the given person. I'd assume that even if its null, it should just repeat the previous week's value in the next week. How to handle this, this causes an issue particularly for a line chart on the weekly level.

 

CumulativeLeadCount = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(SoapData[lead_id]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(SoapData,SoapData[lead_owners_nm]),SoapData[fisc_wk_end_dt]<=max(SoapData[fisc_wk_end_dt])))
