Hi Everyone,
I am using a DAX formula to create column that sums the value from previous column.
but if value is 0, I want the counter to reset and start counting from the 0.
Any ideas ?
Date | Value | Sum |
1/02/2021 | 1 | 1 |
2/02/2021 | 1 | 2 |
3/02/2021 | -1 | 1 |
Value | Sum |
1 | 1 |
1 | 2 |
-1 | 1 |
1 | 2 |
0 | 0 |
1 | 1 |

Hi @MarcinJan ,
Column 2 might be what you are after:
Here the DAX:
Column 2 = VAR _currentValue = 'Table'[Value] VAR _currentDate = 'Table'[Date] VAR _sum = SUMX ( FILTER ('Table', 'Table'[Date] <= _currentDate), 'Table9'[Value] ) VAR _last0 = CALCULATE ( MAX ('Table'[Date] ), FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Date] < _currentDate && 'Table9'[Value] = 0) ) RETURN IF ( _currentValue = 0, 0, SUMX ( FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Date] >= _last0 && 'Table'[Date] <= _currentDate ), 'Table'[Value] ) )
I took the code from here and adapted it a bit:
Cumulative Sum column. Resets if row value = 0 - Microsoft Power BI Community
Let me know if this helps 🙂

works perfectly. Thank you! Now I know to use the term "cumulative sum/total"

hiya, thanks for solution! Is it possible to add one more condition that groups by another column?
