Ideas for cumulative results table

[djurecicK2]

Hello all,

 I'm working on a model with a related date and fact table and a report with a single select slicer for fiscal year. I have created cumulative measures for totals which filter on <= selectedfiscalyear and work fine.

However, I also have a user requirement to show the individual items from the selected fiscal year or before on a map. Because of the relationship between date and fact tables, a single year works fine, but not sure how to show cumulative individual results. Has anyone encountered this situation before?

I suppose I could just forget the cumulative measures and set the slicer to multi-select so the users would need to select all years they want. But then they could select non-contiguous years like FY 2022 and FY2024. 

Appreciate any ideas you have.

Hi @Greg_Deckler ,

 Thank you for your reply. I'm not quite sure how that would work, since I'm looking to show non-aggregated values (location), but I will look into it.

Thanks,

DJ

@djurecicK2 Basically you construct the measure so that it returns 1 for every row that you want to show. Then you use the Filters pane to filter to 1. So basically:

Selector Measure = 
  VAR __SFY = SELECTEDVALUE('Fiscal'[FiscalYear])
  VAR __FY = MAX('Fiscal'[FiscalYear])
  VAR __Result = IF(__FY <= __SFY,1,0)
RETURN
  __Result

@djurecicK2 Perhaps try using a Complex Selector: The Complex Selector - Microsoft Power BI Community
