Cumulative Total

Hi,   I'm at an absolute loss as to how to calculate a cumulative total. I've tried googling, reading the forums, following the documentation, decomposing the calculation, trying it as both a measu...

    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...

Hello,

I've found your answer since I was struggling to build a cummulative column. However, I'm still struggling with the following:

1) RUNNING_NMV_FINAL  = MEASURE = 

IF(AND(ISFILTERED('dim pm'[payment]),ISFILTERED('DIM TIER'[TIER])),
CALCULATE (
SUM (Table2[NMV]),
FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(Table2,Table2[PM],Table2[TIER]),Table2[Index] <= MAX ( Table2[Index])
)
),
calculate(sum(Table2[NMV]),filter(all(Table2),Table2[Index] <= max(Table2[Index])))
)
If you notice, I have filters selected. And this measure only works when I have, either, one selection per filter or when no selection is done in ANY filter. 
 
2) Running nmv COLUMN  = column
CALCULATE (
SUM (Table2[NMV]),
ALL (Table2),
Table2[Index] <= EARLIER (Table2[Index])
) --> followed your logic
 
Although it is displaying the running total with no slicers selected, when I start to filter, it will not change dynamically as I need. 
 
In the end of this, what I would need to do is to divide each row of this cummulative_sales by the TOTAL_SALES_AMOUNT, which will be a %. Then I will do the same for the Losses (all the process before mentioned).
 
I need this because I want to create a line chart with 2 measures (cummulative sales for X axis and cummulative losses for Y axis) and on the legends I would put the country (so, 1  line per country). But the line chart does not allow me to put measures on the X axis, hence my need of using columns.
 
Can anyone help me please? I am starting to give up on this :(.
 
Thank you!!!
