How to calculate subtotal sum of a measure?

Hi guys,

 

I have a measure (ROA) which is calculated by dividing revenue with clients NET position. I need a way to display this measure by summing the last 12 months from its result.

However as you can see on the total bottom right it is aggregating it by division from the total.

 
ROA Positivador =
DIVIDE(
    SUM('Historico Receita'[Valor Bruto Recebido]),
    SUM('Historico Positivador'[NetEmM])
)

 

Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks in advance.

Hi, @diogodasilva 

 

Do you want the total ROA to show the sum of divisions for the last 12 months? You can try the following methods.

Sample data:

Measure:

ROA = DIVIDE(SUM('Table'[Valor]),SUM('Table'[Net]))
Final ROA = 
Var N1=SUMMARIZE(FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Month]<=MAX('Table'[Month])),[Month],"Sum",[ROA])
Var N2=TOPN(12,N1,[Month],DESC)
Var Cumulative12month=SUMX(N2,[Sum])
return
IF(HASONEVALUE('Table'[Month]),[ROA],Cumulative12month)

Is this the result you expect?
