RunningTotal =
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Mortality_color'[counting]);

Hi @DimMich 

Please try the below.

RunningTotal =
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Mortality_color'[counting]);
    FILTER(
        ALLEXCEPT('TableTest'; TableTest[YearColumn]);
        TableTest'[Date] <= MAX('TableTest'[Date])
    )
)

Hi @DimMich 

 

Use the below instead.

RunningTotal =
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Mortality_color'[counting]);
    FILTER(
        ALL('TableTest');
        TableTest'[Date] <= MAX('TableTest'[Date])
    )
)

Hello @Mariusz

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

The new syntax correct it  and now its continious for all dates.

 

But this create a new problem  because i wanted to have the running total reset every year.

I attach a picture how is now with your syntax.
