Daily Rolling Sum Not Continuing After Blank Dates

I tried this DAX formula I found on the web to calculate a rolling 7 day sum. However for Austin there is no records past 9/9, so you would expect the running sum to continue 6 days after 9/9 but it goes to zero once there are no records to calulate. I included the sum of cases right next to the rolling sum for reference. Please let me know what other info is needed. Thank you.

Hi @MickyG 

you can try this,

Measure = 
var _currentDate=MIN('Table'[date])
var _startDate=_currentDate-7
return CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[value]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[date]>_startDate&&'Table'[date]<=_currentDate))

even though i can't see a break in your data, its best practice to use a date table to ensure sure its continious when using date centred measures, something is broken it seems  and its hard to know without looking at your data?  

 

can you create a date table and link  to your table and use the date fields from the date table

 

here is a good example of the pattern

You are correct Vanessa, I linked it to my dates table instead of the report date. That took care of the spaces in between but The rolling sum still isn't continuing it's calcu;ation after a date with "0" records. I included a pic. (The pic includes El Paso because there breaks between the data) And funny enough this is the article I got the code from.
