Cumulative sum that resets every year

Hi, 

I guess my question is simple, I want a cummlative sum that resets every year. I went through almost all the threads here and tried the formulas with no luck. Here is a sample of my data. The formula I used is:

 

 

Cumm.approved= 
VAR __year = MAX(projectTrendingData[Date].[Year])
RETURN
CALCULATE(
SUM (projectTrendingData[Approved]),
filter(
all(projectTrendingData),
projectTrendingData[Date]<=max(projectTrendingData[Date]) && YEAR([Date]) = __year))

 

 

 

I simply want to produce the cummulative sum for the Approved column and get it to reset every year.

Hi @Anonymous ,

I create a sample. Please have a try to check if it is what you want.

  • Create a year column
Year = YEAR('Table'[Date])
  •  Create a measure
Measure =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[Approved] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Table' ),
        'Table'[Date] <= MAX ( 'Table'[Date] )
            && 'Table'[Year] = MAX ( 'Table'[Year] )
    )
)

@Anonymous ,

You need to use YTD. YTD resets every year. Use the Date calendar with this

 

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(('Date'[Date]),"12/31"))
This Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD((ENDOFYEAR('Date'[Date])),"12/31"))

 

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :

Read this fantastic article by SQLBI. It is about hiding future dates, but you can use the exact same concept. You just need a field in your Date table that is [IsCurrentYear] which just returns true or false if the year of the [Date] field is the same as the current year based on Today() if using a Calculated Column in DAX or DateTime.LocalNow() if using Power Query for your date table.

 

Then you just filter per that article on your IsCurrentYear field. I have one for the current year, quarter, week, month, etc for all sorts of easy measures and slicers.

 

By the way, you really need a true date table for this. See Creating a Dynamic Date Table in Power Query to create one in Power Query. You cannot add these fields to the automatic date table, which I can tell you are using based on your measure.

Hi @Anonymous  

your formula should principally work as a measure. Or do you want to create a calculated column to your table?

Just be aware of the column you're referencing, as it is "[Approved During the 2 Week Reporting Period]" in your formula and plain "Approved" in the sample data you've given.

Thanks Imek, 

 

I want a calculated column, the formula was for the original case but I forgot to change the column name when I prepared the test case to post here. Still didn't work

Hi @Anonymous -  just curious, why do you want a calculated column? Is there a specific use case you are trying to satisfy?

 

In general, try to avoid calculated columns. There are times to use them, but it is rare. Getting data out of the source system, creating columns in Power Query, or DAX Measures are usually preferred to calculated columns. See these references:
Calculated Columns vs Measures in DAX
Calculated Columns and Measures in DAX
Storage differences between calculated columns and calculated tables
Creating a Dynamic Date Table in Power Query
