Cumulative per day per person

Hi

 

My dashboard is to measure the production of KG's packed, per person, per day in a factory.

 

My data looks like this:

DatePersonReal Weight
01-Jan-22Person A1
01-Jan-22Person A1.5
01-Jan-22Person A1
01-Jan-22Person A1.6
01-Jan-22Person A1
01-Jan-22Person B3.5
01-Jan-22Person B3
01-Jan-22Person B1.5
01-Jan-22Person B2
02-Jan-22Person A1.5
02-Jan-22Person A1
02-Jan-22Person A1
02-Jan-22Person A0.5
02-Jan-22Person B1
02-Jan-22Person B2

 

I Need to get it as follows:

 

DatePersonReal WeightCumulative Weight
01-Jan-22Person A11
01-Jan-22Person A1.52.5
01-Jan-22Person A13.5
01-Jan-22Person A1.65.1
01-Jan-22Person A16.1
01-Jan-22Person B3.53.5
01-Jan-22Person B36.5
01-Jan-22Person B1.58
01-Jan-22Person B210
02-Jan-22Person A1.51.5
02-Jan-22Person A12.5
02-Jan-22Person A13.5
02-Jan-22Person A0.54
02-Jan-22Person B11
02-Jan-22Person B23

 

I then have a futher requirement, where I need to know how much was below and how much over 4 KG.

 

So my table needs to expand to this

DatePersonReal WeightCumulative WeightBelow 4Above 4
01-Jan-22Person A111 
01-Jan-22Person A1.52.51.5 
01-Jan-22Person A13.51 
01-Jan-22Person A1.65.10.51.1
01-Jan-22Person A16.1 1
01-Jan-22Person B3.53.53.5 
01-Jan-22Person B36.50.52.5
01-Jan-22Person B1.58 1.5
01-Jan-22Person B210 2
02-Jan-22Person A1.51.51.5 
02-Jan-22Person A12.51 
02-Jan-22Person A13.51 
02-Jan-22Person A0.540.5 
02-Jan-22Person B111 
02-Jan-22Person B232 

 

I have tried about 5 different ways that I could see on the forum, so thanks to those who's answered a similar problem. I have however not found one that gives me the answer I require.

 

If any of you can assist, it will be much appreciated !

 

Thanks

Roelf

Hi @roelf ,

According to your description, here's my solution.

Add an index column in Power Query, then create three calculated columns.

Cumulative Weight =
SUMX (
    FILTER (
        'Table',
        'Table'[Date] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] )
            && 'Table'[Person] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Person] )
            && 'Table'[Index] <= EARLIER ( 'Table'[Index] )
    ),
    'Table'[Real Weight]
)
Above 4 =
VAR _Cum =
    MAXX (
        FILTER (
            'Table',
            'Table'[Date] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] )
                && 'Table'[Person] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Person] )
                && 'Table'[Cumulative Weight] > 4
                && 'Table'[Cumulative Weight] < EARLIER ( 'Table'[Cumulative Weight] )
        ),
        'Table'[Cumulative Weight]
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        [Cumulative Weight] > 4,
        [Cumulative Weight]
            - IF ( _Cum = BLANK (), 4, _Cum )
    )
Below 4 =
IF (
    [Cumulative Weight] < 4,
    'Table'[Real Weight],
    IF (
        'Table'[Real Weight] - 'Table'[Above 4] = 0,
        BLANK (),
        'Table'[Real Weight] - 'Table'[Above 4]
    )
)

Get the correct result.

Thank you all for your suggestions - they all worked 100%

What I ended up using:

- Sorted the data in the Power Query

- Then added an index

- Then used the formula given to get the cumulative amount

I have also checked out other examples which suggesting using "RANKX" as a method instead of adding an index column - not sure which is better. I personally preferred adding an index in the query so that I am sure all rows have values.

 

Thanks again all - much appreciated !!

Hi @roelf ,

For cumulative weight try this:

Result= SUMX (

    FILTER (

        ALLSELECTED ( tablename[Date] ),

        Tablename[Date] <= MAX ( tablename[Date] )

    ),

    [Realweight]

)

 

@roelf -> please hit the thumbs up & mark it as a solution if it helps you. Thanks.

@roelf , Add an index column in power query  first and then try a new column

 

cumm  = sumx(filter(Table, [Person] = earlier([Person]) && [Index] <= earlier([index]) ), [Weight])
