I've done cumulative running totals before, but this is frustrating. I can't get it to work. My formula is correct, and I think my values are correct, but the graph is messed up looking.
Running Total COLUMN =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Table1[Tran Amount] ),
ALL ( Table1 ),
Table1[TrueDate] <= EARLIER ( Table1[TrueDate] )
)
The only major issue is that my dates are in serial form from Excel and when I try to convert in Power BI I get an error, so I read I had to have a calculated column to make the serials into dates. Yes, I formatted the column as a date. And there's no relationships here, all information is in one table.
TrueDate = FORMAT(Table1[Post Date],"YYYY-MM-DD")
@Anonymous,
This looks fine. It would be better to share a complete example.
