I have a very simple table with two columns. Date, and Daily Events. The data comes a Big Data DB. The events are already aggregated per day but I want to run a cummulative total. The DAX CALCULATE function does not work since none of the two columns are expressions. I even separated the date into another table that has only Dates. So here is the way the data looks

Date                           NumberOfDailyEvents

2017-10-26                                      207294

2017-10-27                                      339522

2017-10-28                                      221002

        .                                                    .

        .                                                    .

I hope you get the picture. Now, I thought the calculate function should look something like this:

CALCULATE (

    [NumberOfDailyEvents],

    FILTER (

        ALL ( 'Date'[Date] ),

        'Date'[Date] <= MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )

Can anybody please tell me what do I need to make this thing work (The NumberOfDailyEvents] is not a measure like I said, it comes directly from a DB.

thanks

Since NumberOfDailyEvents is a column you will just need to provide an aggregate function like SUM() to tell the tabular engine how to aggregate the values.

eg.

CALCULATE (
    SUM([NumberOfDailyEvents]),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Date'[Date] ),
        'Date'[Date] <= MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
    )
)
