Cumulative sums

I have a table that tracks users' performance in various categories of questions as they take a quiz. 5 questions are drawn randomly from 3 different question categories X, Y and Z. A score is calculated for each user in each category based on how many correct answers he got in that category.

How can I calculate cumulative sums for CorrectAnswers and QuestionsAnswered by date, by user and by question category? I want to use the cumulative sums to caculate a cumulative score. That part is easy. It's the cumulative sums that I'm struggling with. This is the end result I'm looking for.

Do you want these as COLUMNS or MEASURES?

 

COLUMNS

 

Score = 'Table'[CorrectAnswers] / 'Table'[QuestionsAnswered]

CumulativeCorrectAnswers =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[CorrectAnswers] ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[User], 'Table'[QuestionCategory] ),
    'Table'[Date] <= EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] )
)

CumulativeQuestionsAnswered =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[QuestionsAnswered] ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[User], 'Table'[QuestionCategory] ),
    'Table'[Date] <= EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] )
)

CumulativeScore = 'Table'[CumulativeCorrecAnswers] / 'Table'[CumulativeQuestionsAnswered]

@Sean Either as long as I can show them in a table visualization. Thanks.

Hi @davidwsw,

 

In your scenairo, you can create measures like below and drag them into the table visual:

 

CumulativeCorrectAnswers = CALCULATE(SUM( Sheet1[CorrectAnswers]),FILTER(ALL(Sheet1),Sheet1[Date]<=MAX(Sheet1[Date])),VALUES(Sheet1[User]), VALUES(Sheet1[QuestionCategory]))

 

CumulativeQuestionsAnswered = CALCULATE(SUM( Sheet1[QuestionsAnswered]),FILTER(ALL(Sheet1),Sheet1[Date]<=MAX(Sheet1[Date])),VALUES(Sheet1[User]), VALUES(Sheet1[QuestionCategory]))

 

CumulativeScore = CALCULATE(SUM( Sheet1[CorrectAnswers]),FILTER(ALL(Sheet1),Sheet1[Date]<=MAX(Sheet1[Date])),VALUES(Sheet1[User]), VALUES(Sheet1[QuestionCategory]))/CALCULATE(SUM( Sheet1[QuestionsAnswered]),FILTER(ALL(Sheet1),Sheet1[Date]<=MAX(Sheet1[Date])),VALUES(Sheet1[User]), VALUES(Sheet1[QuestionCategory]))
