I have the following DAX formula:
Cumulative ETC = Sumx(Filter(Summarize(Allselected (Data), 'Data'[Porfolio Alignment], 'Data'[Total Estimated Cost], "ETC", 'Data'[Total Estimated Cost], [ETC] >= 'Data'[Total Estimated Cost]), [ETC]).
This works fine to build a table with 3 columns: Portfolio Alignment, Total Est. Cost, Cumulative ETC. The final column shows the grand total for every row (as expected). Of course to build the Pareto chart I need to have Cumulative ETC actually show a running cumulative total for each row. The problem arises when I try to add the following lines:
1. VAR NewETC = 'Data'[Total Estimated Cost] <<-- here I get an error message "Can not find name '[Total Estimated Cost]'
2. Return
with both lines 1 & 2 inserted before the Sumx ... followed by a final edit replacing [ETC] >= 'Data'[Estimated Total Cost w/ [ETC] >= New ETC
Why is this happening and how can I fix it? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Hi @Anonymous ,
Did you forget to add the closing parenthesis as highlighted above when you creating the "Cumulative ETC" column?
Hope that's what you were looking for.
