Measure to sum and filter

[sineadbhyland]

Hello,

I would really appreciate some help, I have researched for hours!

I cannot get this measure to work so that I can show as a line graph of the cumulative value of Committed and Planned over the year(these are just 2 out of 4 criteria in the Description column).

Measure  = CALCULATE(

SUM('Sheet1'[Value]),

FILTER('Sheet1','Sheet1'[Description]="committed" && 'Sheet1'[Description]="planned"))

Below is a picture of the data I would like to transform into ONE line and as cumulative running total increasing with time for just Committed and Planned.

Thank you for any help,
Sinead

Cumulative planned =

VAR endofperiod = MAX(Sheet1[Date])

RETURN

CALCULATE(

SUM(Sheet1[Value]),

Sheet1[Description] = "planned",

Sheet1[Date] <= endofperiod  )

Cumulative commited =

VAR endofperiod = MAX(Sheet1[Date])

RETURN

CALCULATE(

SUM(Sheet1[Value]),

Sheet1[Description] = "commited",

Sheet1[Date] <= endofperiod  )

Cumulative planned or commited =

VAR endofperiod = MAX(Sheet1[Date])

RETURN

CALCULATE(

SUM(Sheet1[Value]),

Sheet1[Description] in { "planned", "commited"},

Sheet1[Date] <= endofperiod  )

 

Cumulative everything=

VAR endofperiod = MAX(Sheet1[Date])

RETURN

CALCULATE(

SUM(Sheet1[Value]),

Sheet1[Date] <= endofperiod)
