    Hi koenmilt,

     

    You could try  this:

    Cumulative Hours spend =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'OVERUREN_WEEK'[Hours Spend] ),
    FILTER (
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'OVERUREN_WEEK', OVERUREN_WEEK[Employee] ),
        OVERUREN_WEEK[Year_Week] <= MAX ( OVERUREN_WEEK[Year_Week] )
    )
)

     

    Best regards,

Hi v-yulgu-msft,

 

I'm sorry, I probably did not explain well enough. 

Indeed, it is reset. I am looking for a way in which the cumulative will NOT be reset in week 201704, even though the employee has a different cost center in that week.

 

The DAX which I described in my original post has the same behaviour as the one you suggest in your post.

Hi koenmilt,

 

Based on the sample in my above post, what is your desired result? Could you illustrate your requirement with examples? If possible, please post an image.

 

Regards,
Yuliana Gu

    Hi v-yulgu-msft,


    I'm having trouble uploading an image. 

     

    The result I want is the following:

     

    Employee  - cost center - function      - year_week - hours spend - cumulative

    Henk         -  2500          - Developer   - 201701      - 3                   - 3

    Henk         -  2500          - Developer   - 201702      - 1                   - 4

    Henk         -  4000          - Developer   - 201703      - 2                   - 6

    Henk         -  4000          - Consultant  - 201704      - 3                   - 9

    Jan            -  3000          - Manager     - 201701      - 1                   - 1

    Jan            -  3000          - Manager     - 201702      - 2                   - 3

     

     

    Thus, the cumulative only breaks by employee. As I showed in the previous post, currently the cumulative also breaks by Cost_center and function, wich means the cumulative resets when Henk switches to a different cost center in week 201703.
