Cumulative total of day categories (Dax measure and Calculated column)

I am trying to create a bar graph that along the x axis we have the categories: 5 days +. 6 days +, 7 days +, 8 days +, 9 days +, 10+ days.

Along the Y axis we have Count of repairs.

 

The purpose is to show how many repairs at each stage there are. This should be cumulative so the first category should always be the tallest bar. For example (apologies for the crude drawing):

ADPowerBI1_0-1679388430092.png

 

 all repairs in 6+ should also be counted in 5+, because they have also been in repair more than 5 days.

 

Currently I have:
[Count of Repairs]

'table'[Days in repair]    (this is the number of days the job has been in repair.

 

How do i create a measure/columns to give me a group that sorts my repairs into categories (5days+,6days+ etc) and how do I write a measure to group my repairs cumulatively?

 

Thanks so much for any help.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Based on your description, I have created a simple sample:

Please try:

First create a new table for x-axis:

X-Axis = {"5+","6+","7+","8+"}

Then apply the measure to the column visual:

Count of Repairs = 
var _a = VALUE(LEFT(MAX('X-Axis'[Value]),LEN(MAX('X-Axis'[Value])-1)))
return CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[ID]),FILTER('Table',[Days in repair]>_a))

Final output:

Hi,

I am not sure how much i can help but i would like to try.  Share the download link of the PBI file.  Only keep tables/columns there which are necessary to solve this question.  Remove all irrelevant tables/columns.
