Hi all,
Hoping someone might be able to help.
I'm trying to create a running total to use in a line graph but my data refuses to cumulate. I've read numerous theards and tried to use 'Quick Measures' without any success. I'm starting to wonder if my data table is the problem.
Here is a screen shot of my data table:
I want the Client ID (Count Distinct) Column to cumulate over time based on the Outcome Date Column. I'm currently using the following formula to calculate this without much luck:
Running Total Outcomes = CALCULATE([Total Hard Outcomes],FILTER(ALL('Cumulative HO Data 14-/15 - 16/17'[Outcome Date]),'Cumulative HO Data 14-/15 - 16/17'[Outcome Date] <= Max('Cumulative HO Data 14-/15 - 16/17'[Outcome Date])))
When I try to insert this measure into a matrix
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,

Kind regards,
You can try to create a measure as below.
[Running Total Outcomes ] =
SUMX (
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Cumulative HO Data 14-/15 - 16/17' ),
'Cumulative HO Data 14-/15 - 16/17'[outcome date ]
<= MAX ( 'Cumulative HO Data 14-/15 - 16/17'[outcome date ] )
),
'Cumulative HO Data 14-/15 - 16/17'[client id ]
)
