How to visualize the context of filter function inside calculation

I want to do a calculation function and at any point in this calcuation i have a FILTER function

is it possible that i can see the dataSet filtered in comparizon thought to pivot.

 

So if i have a table with movies categories, movies , cost  and revenue in time

 

And want to make a pivot with cumulative sum. Using the normal calculation.

 

calculate(sum(revenue),filter(all(movieTable),category=max(category) && movie=max(movie) && date<=max(date)))

 

How can i see in table what is placed to calculation?

This is just sum the revenue grouped by the 3 columns. It is not feasible to display the backend calculation, you may only add relevant columns to a matrix to table visual. However, I am not sure what kind of information you want to display, maybe visually explain your needs.

Debugging is my problem not the visual it self. sinse the result may be not ok i want to visualise some how the context of the calculation cause by placing of the visual and select the rows and columns i am difining the contaxt but it seems that the calculation does not identify it exactly. 

 

So irrelevant of the specific case scenario which i have asked in another topic, in this i want to ask if i can really visualise the context of some calculation, not the result but the  table which was filtered to make the calculation based on selections of fields in a visual

@kyrpav . This will give running total for Category, movie, and date.

So you need to have these three columns with required measures  (Matrix or Table)
