Cumulative Total
- 10 years ago
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...

The pattern for cumulative totals in measures seems pretty well established using the formulation "<= MAX("
From testing it out myself, it appears that the MAX function in this case evaluates in the Row Context.
What I don't understand is why is does this rather than evaluate in the Filter Context, which the description seems to imply it will do:
