Hello,
I am quite new on Power Bi and currently stuck with showing a running total on a line chart. So, I have a dataset with orders raised per day.I want to show the running total of total orders per day. I have calculated the running total and it works fine on a table. However, when I add the measure on a line chart I always get the overall total. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Any ideas would be appreciated
thanks
George

Hi @geokon
Looks like you have your running total running ok for your table so it could just be a field selection issue on the axis.
Make a copy of the table visual (Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V) to duplicate it. Then on the duplicate, make it a standard linechart and see what happens.

Hi Phil,
You were right. Just realised that the raised date was from a different dataset. Sounds like a rookie mistake.
Thanks!
