    Hi  MAbdelRazik ,

     

    Create a table as below:

    Table 2 = CALENDAR(MIN('Table'[Start]),MAX('Table'[End]))

    Then create 2 measures as below :

    _Value = 
var _table=ADDCOLUMNS('Table 2',"value",CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Column]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Start]<='Table 2'[Date]&&'Table'[End]>='Table 2'[Date])))
Return
MAXX(_table,[value])
    _Cumulative value = SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table 2'),'Table 2'[Date]<=MAX('Table 2'[Date])),'Table 2'[_Value])

    And you will see:

    For the related .pbix file,pls see attached.

     

    Best Regards,
    Kelly

MAbdelRazik So did you create a table for breaking things out or a measure? If a table, create a calculated column. If a measure, do measure aggregation and add a column using ADDCOLUMNS then filter down to the current in context date. The column calculation goes something like:

Column = SUMX(FILTER('Table',[Date]<=EARLIER([Date]),[Value])

Did you use something like Open Tickets to break things out?

Greg_Deckler So, I had the one table with StartDate, EndDate and valuePerDay. I will call this Data_table. 

 

I created a table that has dates and I will call this DateSTable. I created a measure using this code:

 

ValuePerDay = CALCULATE(
sum (Data_Table[valuePerDay]),
FILTER(
Data_Table,
Data_Table[StartDate]<=max( 'DateSTable'[Date])
&& Data_Table[EndDate] >= max ('DateSTable'[Date])))
 
Now I have a visual which has all the dates from the DateSTable and the measured values. I am trying now to get the cumulative values.
 
I am not sure where to add the column suggested in your method below. I also can't seem to refer to the measure in a calculated column. I am sure I am doing something wrong but I am not sure what it is.

    MAbdelRazik OK, if that is your measure, we will go the measure route. So:

    Cumulative Measure =
  VAR __Date = MAX('DateSTable'[Date])
  VAR __Table = FILTER(ALL('DateSTable'[Date]),[Date]<=__Date)
  VAR __Table1 = 
   ADDCOLUMNS(
      __Table,
      "PerDay",SUMX(FILTER(Data_Table,Date_Table[StartDate]<=[Date]&& Data_Table[EndDate] >=[Date])
   )
   VAR __Table2 =
     ADDCOLUMNS(
       __Table1,
       "Cumulative",SUMX(FILTER(__Table1,[Date]<=EARLIER([Date])),[PerDay])
     )
RETURN
  MAXX(FILTER(__Table2,[Date]=__Date),[Cumulative)
