Cumulative count

Hi,

 

I have this table where I have trouble getting the correct cumulative values. I would like have a cumulative count column that is not 1, 1, 1, but instead 08/07 = 2, 25/07 = 3 etc.

I did this measure: 

Cumulative_count =
VAR DATE_SELECT = SELECTEDVALUE(Kalender[Date])
VAR COUNT_STATUS = COUNT(Data[Intern status])
RETURN CALCULATE(COUNT_STATUS, Kalender[Date] <=DATE_SELECT)
 
But what is missing? 
 
Best regards,
Lisa

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

If you don't want to expand your table visual to show cumulative count in continuous date, you don't need to use [Date] in 'Kalendar' table. Or you can add a 'IF' function in your measure.

cumm = 
IF (
    COUNT ( Data[Intern status] ) <> BLANK (),
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( Data[Intern status] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( Kalendar[Date] ), 'Kalendar'[Date] <= MAX ( Kalendar[Date] ) )
    )
)

Result is as below.

I actually want to visually show the data in a line chart. Can I use the same equation?

@Anonymous , make sure you are using a date table and date table in visual

 

cumm = CALCULATE(COUNT(Data[Intern status]),filter(all('Date'),'Date'[date] <=max('Date'[date])))
