Hi Power PI Community
I'm having trouble finding a way to generate cumulative total charts. Here is the structure of my data:
| Project no | Region | Market | Margin |
| 132 | USA | A | 100 |
| 432 | Canada | B | 200 |
| 243235 | Canada | B | 150 |
| 2432 | Asia | A | 2 |
| ads23 | Asia | B | 23 |
| 43DT | USA | B | 343 |
| 234 | USA | C | 453 |
| 345 | Canada | A | 344 |
| A234 | Asia | A | 23 |
| D45 | Canada | B | 24 |
| 36457 | USA | B | 345 |
| 57467 | USA | A | 234 |
| 54325 | Asia | C | 123 |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |
I want to generate a chart showing the cumulative total Margin for each market/region I select, RANKED in decreasing order of Margin. For example I might want to show on a graph the cumulative margin for the USA for all 3 markets:
X axis is just the number of projects. Largest margins are to the left.
I'm pretty sure there is not easy way to achieve this... Any hints?
Hi SRioux ,
You can create measure "Comulative_Margin" to get the cumulative total Margin.
Comulative_Margin = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Margin]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED(Table1),ISONORAFTER (Table1[Margin], MAX ( Table1[Margin]), DESC )))
Then, create Scatter chart to display the cumulative total Margin for each market/region selected, ranked in descend order of Margin. For example, when select USA in Slicer, return the result showing below picture.
Here is my pbix test file link: https://qiuyunus-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/pbipro_qiuyunus_onmicrosoft_com/Eb3IJv9Au1RKsVTyzG...

Thanks Amy
The ranking in descending order of Margin is not working. Every dot of a given market should be above the one on its left (strictly increasing function). The X axis of the scatter plot needs to be Number of projects, not project number.
