Cumulative Value Multiplication

Hello everyone,

I’m encountering an issue with a cumulative measure I’m working on, and I’d appreciate some guidance. The desired output format looks like this:

Year Measure1 Cumulative

20191.081
20201.051.05
20211.451.5225
20221.682.5578
202312.5578
202412.5578

For the year 2019, the cumulative value is always 1. For each subsequent year, it’s calculated by multiplying the previous year’s cumulative value with the current year’s Measure1 value. Here’s how it’s calculated for each year:

  • 2020 cumulative = 1 (2019 cumulative) * 1.05 (Measure1 for 2020) = 1.05
  • 2021 cumulative = 1.05 (2020 cumulative) * 1.45 (Measure1 for 2021) = 1.5225
  • 2022 cumulative = 1.5225 (2021 cumulative) * 1.68 (Measure1 for 2022) = 2.5578
  • 2023 cumulative = 2.5578 (2022 cumulative) * 1 (Measure1 for 2023) = 2.5578
  • 2024 cumulative = 2.5578 (2023 cumulative) * 1 (Measure1 for 2024) = 2.5578

Any insights on how to implement of the Cumulative measure or troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @USEERTEST51151 ,

 

Building on the measure provided by @saud968 , I've tweaked it to introduce the base year 2019 to use 1 instead of 1.08 as shown below:

 

Cumulative Measure = 
VAR CurrentYear = MAX('Table'[Year])
RETURN
    CALCULATE(
        PRODUCTX(
            FILTER(
                ALL('Table'),
                'Table'[Year] <= CurrentYear
            ),
            IF('Table'[Year] = 2019, 1, 'Table'[Measure1])  // Use 1 for 2019, Measure1 for other years
        )
    )

 

The resulting output is as shown below:

I've attached an example pbix file for your reference.

Try this measure 

Cumulative Measure =
VAR CurrentYear = MAX('Table'[Year])
RETURN
CALCULATE(
PRODUCTX(
FILTER(
ALL('Table'),
'Table'[Year] <= CurrentYear
),
'Table'[Measure1]
)
)

If this does not work share some more details.

Hi @USEERTEST51151, Please try the below measures.

Cumulative Measure =
VAR CurrentYear = MAX('Table'[Year])
RETURN
IF(
CurrentYear = 2019, -- Base case for 2019
1,
CALCULATE(
PRODUCTX(
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[Year] <= CurrentYear -- Include all rows up to the current year
),
'Table'[Measure1]
)
)
)
