Cumulative count with AllSELECTED

Hi all,

 

I have a table of Records with two columns: "Status" and "Activation Date"

 

I use the following measure to return the cumulative count of records per "Activation Date":

Cumulative_count = CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Records' ),
FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Records' ), 'Records'[Activation Date] <= MAX ( 'Records'[Activation Date] )
))

 

I use this measure in a stacked column chart and get the result below:

 

NAOS_0-1698945295452.png

 

What I would like to do next is to add the column legend, so I can split it by "Status". The problem is (I think) that because of the presense of ALLSELECTED, the count is performed again for each "Status" present within each year. So, instead of getting the split of the cumulative count per "Status", I get the following:

 

NAOS_1-1698945652853.png

 

Any suggestion on how to adjust the calculation so I can get the cumulative count of records, but still be able to split it by status in the visual?

Thank you in advance for your help.

@NAOS , Create a separate date table and join it with your date and use it

 

Cumulative_count = CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Records' ),
FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Date' ), 'Date'[Date] <= MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
))

 

 

Using window function

 

Cumm Based on Date = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS ( 'Records' ), Window(1,ABS,0,REL, ALLSELECTED('date'[date]),ORDERBY('Date'[date],ASC)))

Hi @amitchandak,

 

That makes sense and of course it works.

 

Thank you very much for your help.
