Help with DAX Formula error
I have a set of data for which I am trying to get a running total from a calculated column, but I keep getting an error. My code is below
Running Total = List.Sum(List.Range(#"Added Index"[Total Cost],0,[Index]))
And this is the error I keep getting:
Expression.Error: 4 arguments were passed to function which expects between 2 and 3.
Details:
Pattern=
Arguments=[List]
The formula works fine when I use it with the column from which my calculated column (Total Cost)is generated, so I am thinking its the calculated column which is the issue, but this column works fine? any Idea's as this is driving me nuts. (btw - I will be creating a running percentage off this column later as well to develop a pareto analysis, and this is a million miles easier in excel!)
The data will also be grouped later using another text column, and will be filtered using a splitter on the raised date (I do NOT want to use this in the cummulative value column, as it is largely irrelevant to this sum)

hyperbob0811 what is the expression of [Total Cost]?
Hi hyperbob0811 ,
I made a test in my sample and it works properly.
You could provide your codes and sample here to make the problem clearer.
I managed to get it to work, but had to basically take my data out and add in a column which had precalculated each row total cost, as without this - even a measure or a calculated column the thing simply refused to work!
