Cumulative sum by column no date

Hi, i have a little problem unsolved with a dax cumulative.

 

i have this table

 

CategoryValue
A1
A1
B1
C1
C1
D1

 

I need to create a cumulative sum by category

 

So the result is this:

 

Category SumValues Cumulative

A                2                   2

C               2                    4

B               1                    5

D              1                    6

Total       6 

 

How can i calculate the cumulative?

 

Thanks for help

Hi @Vvelarde,

 

In your scenario, why do you want to get the result based on the sorting A-> C-> B-> D. If we Group By based on Category in Query Editor, we can't sort by SumValues firstly then by Category. If we based on the normal category sorting, we can add a index column to calculate the running total easily.

hi @v-qiuyu-msft

 

I need to show order the category (A,B,C,D) by Sum of values. To Show Correctly a Cumulative Sum..Starting from Highest to Lowest.

 

 My next step is show a measure  in %.

 

A   2     (2/6)

C   2     (4/6)

B   1      (5/6)

D   1      (6/6)

Total 6

 

This is the reason of i don't show you in normal sorting

I had these measure that works when the sum of values is different by each category.

 

ValuesAcumulado = 
VAR valor=Calculate(Sum(Table1[Values])
RETURN
SUMX(FILTER(All('Category');[SumaValues]>=valor);[SumaValues])

Where Category is a single table column with A,B,C,D and SumaValues = Calculate(Sum(Table1[Values]))

 

The problem is when have  same sum values for 2 or more categories. The Sum takes all the categories with same values.

Hi @Vvelarde

 

Here  is how I did.

 

1. Created a Summarized table Table5 with columns Category as  Cat   and sum Values  - Result from source table.

2. Created a running sequence number column using

     IndexCat = CALCULATE(COUNTA(Table5[Cat]), FIlter(Table5,Table5[Cat]<=EARLIER(Table5[Cat])))

3. Created a Rank column 

    ModRank = RANKX(ALL(Table5), [Result]+[IndexCat]/100000,,0,Dense)

4. By adding IndexCat/100000 there will be no two values with same Rank even though the value of Result is the same.

5. Created a **bleep** total column

    CumTot = CALCULATE(sum(Table5[Result]), FIlter(Table5,Table5[ModRank]<=EARLIER(Table5[ModRank])))

6. the output I got in a table format is

The only issue I could not resolve yet is to get the Cat in the ascending order of cat within same values of Reult.

May be you could throw some light on it.

 

Cheers
