I want to calculate cumulative total. I have gone through other post but my dataset do not have Dates column.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @KL718
1. Create and Index column using Edit query starting from 1.
2. Go through the link

3. Use the Index as the column for Earlier function.

You can achieve this via Power Query:
The meat of the code works starting from GroupMe and all the way down:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcjRU0lEyNAASSrE6QK4RkGWE4BoDWcYQbiwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Part = _t, Sales = _t, dd = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Part", type text}, {"Sales", Int64.Type}}),
GroupMe = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "GroupMe", each 1),
#"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(GroupMe, "Index", 0, 1),
#"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Added Index", {"GroupMe"}, {{"All_Rows", each _, type table}}),
#"Duplicated Column" = Table.DuplicateColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "All_Rows", "All_Rows - Copy"),
#"Expanded All_Rows" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Duplicated Column", "All_Rows", {"Part", "Sales", "Index"}, {"Part", "Sales", "Index"}),
#"Expanded All_Rows - Copy" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Expanded All_Rows", "All_Rows - Copy", {"Part", "Sales", "Index"}, {"Part.1", "Sales.1", "Index.1"}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded All_Rows - Copy", "Find_Cumulative", each [Index] >= [Index.1]),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom", each ([Find_Cumulative] = true)),
#"Regroup for Cumulative" = Table.Group(#"Filtered Rows", {"GroupMe", "Sales", "Index", "Part"}, {{"Cumulative Total", each List.Sum([Sales.1]), type number}})
in
#"Regroup for Cumulative"
Thanks.
Can do same with DAX?
