Hello,
I need your help because I am struggling with a cumulative sum that isn't linked to a date.
I have a visual that looks like this:
And I want to achieve what I wrote in the column 1.
For example, the formula for the % of the total is this:
I have seen some formulas containing the dates as a way to sort, but the dates are linked with individual sales. So I don't know how to pull this off.
Thanks in advance
Sebastien

Hi @Seabastein ,
You can use sales as index to calculate cumulative sum. Please refer this:
cumulative sum =
VAR _s =
SUMMARIZE (
ALLSELECTED ( data ),
[customer name],
"_sales", SUM ( data[sales] ),
"%", [ % of total]
)
RETURN
SUMX ( FILTER ( _s, [_sales] <= SUM ( data[sales] ) ), [%] )

Your case is an simplified variant of Pareto analysis. There are countless examples on the forum or on the internet.
Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |
