Descending Running Total --- Issue with Relationship

Hi

 

My Goal here is to make a bar chart about Descendent Running Total.

We want to calculate how much amount of the remaining balance for each period.

 

Please note that I have two sets of data, and I joined them (both ways) by “Number.” (1 to N)

 

The final chart should like this. 2017-06-30_19-55-46.jpg

 

 

 

Like a general running total, I can make a measure like this.

 

Actual running total in Actual =

CALCULATE(

                SUM('Finance'[Forecast]),

                FILTER(

                                ALLSELECTED('Finance'[Period]),

                                ISONORAFTER('Finance'[Period], MIN('Finance'[Period]), ASC)

                )

)

 

The chart looks perfect at the beginning. However, When I put in a Slicer of “Name”, which is from Table links to Info Table (top table), the chart went crazy and looks like this.

 

2017-06-30_19-58-51.jpg

 

Seems like the problem is that the measure now includes ALL periods. However, if I select #1, I just want to see #1’s period instead of ALL other periods.

 

(Note: the filter works fine if the slicer field comes from the same table. But it doesn't work with a linked table) 

 

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

 

Thank you so much for your help!

 

Thank you,

 

Matthew

Please check if you applied any Visual Level Filter.

 

As I tested, if you don't apply any visual level filter, your measure supposes to show correct values in column chart.

Hi Simon_Hou,

 

Thank you so much for helpping me testing. I have removed all the visual level filter. but I still have the trouble.

 

This is the file https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsPQz1Ivt4qwj3fXxUSkmG8mwTPr

 

As you can see from the screenshot. The above chart is the running total descending, and the bottom chart is the running total acscending. After I apply the filter, the acsending works great because it only displays the period of the project. However, the deceding one tells a totally different story. Could you please help me check how I can modify my formula to only display the period just I need?2017-07-06_19-53-59.jpg

 

 

 

Thank you so much for your help!
