Incremental count/running total based on max in department

[smp45]

Hi

I have a table as follows, which shows by date and hour

• the number of patients admitted,
• number of patients discharged ,
• the difference between them (admittedpts (3) - dischargedpts (4) = (-1) net. 

There are a total of 65 patient in beds at 12midnight

I need to calculate a running total (add/take the net difference from the next hour's pts count) based on each hour. e.g. for 00:00-00:59 , 3 patients were admitted and 4 discharged which taken from 65 gives 64

so

    for 02:00-02:59 the number of patients should be (64+3admitted)=67,

    for 03:00-03:59 the number of patients should be (64+3admitted+1admitted) =68 patients

    for 04:00-04:59 the number of patients should be (64+3admitted+1admitted+ 2admitted) =70 patients

easy enough to do in excel, but in power bi 9bit more difficult) any help apprecited

Hi @smp45 ,

I'm not quite sure if I understand your needs accurately.
Sample data without sensitive information and expected output would help tremendously.

Hope it helps,

Hi

I have 2 tables , Table A holds the number of admissions and discharges by Date and hour

                           Table B Holds the number of patients in a bed at 12 midnight (this is a static number)

As we go on during the night and day, new patients will be admitted and some existing patients will be discharged.

What i require is a running total each hour that takes into account the number admitted and discharged by hour

here is a screen shot of the data.

Table A

Date	Hour_A	Hour Band	Admit	Discharges	Net
12/11/2021	0	00:00-00:59	4	4	0

Table B

Date	Hour	Hour_A	NumberOfPatients
12/11/2021	00:00:00	0	62

The desired result i.e - running total

hope this makes it clear
