    Hi, GillyGils 

     

    You can try the following methods. 

    Measure:

    Running Head Count = SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Date]<=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date])),[Head Count])

    Is this the result you expect?

GillyGils  Use a date table and try like. Date table's date should be joined with date of your table. Use date/month from date table in visual, slicer and measures

 

CALCULATE([Head Count],filter(allselected(date),date[date] <=max(date[Date])))

or

 

Cumm Based on Date = CALCULATE([Head Count], Window(1,ABS,0,REL, ALLSELECTED('date'[date]),ORDERBY('Date'[date],ASC)))

 

or

 

CALCULATE([Head Count],filter(all(date),date[date] <=max(date[Date])))

 

or

 

Cumm Based on Date = CALCULATE([Head Count], Window(1,ABS,0,REL, all('date'[date]),ORDERBY('Date'[date],ASC)))

    Thanks for the response.

    In my fact table, its only monthly data. So I only have month end dates so which are a whole number in which ive converted to 'Date'. Is there a solution to not have a date table included?
