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.

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.
