Good morning,
I have a Power BI project where I have a measure "products[total_value]" and a date column called "products[registration_date]". I need to create a table that shows each day of "products[registration_date]" (with the time range chosen via filter) along with the corresponding value of "products[total_value]" and the cumulative value of this measure.
The result should look like this:
products[registration_date] | products[total_value] | CUMULATIVE
---------------------------------------------------------------------
21/06/2021 | 0.00 | 0.00
22/06/2021 | -2720.00 | -2720.00
23/06/2021 | -31020.00 | -33740.00
24/06/2021 | -1824.45 | -35564.45
I tried different measures like:
Comulative_1 =
SUMX(
ADDCOLUMNS(
CALENDAR(MIN(products[registration_date]), MAX(products[registration_date])),
"Date2",
[Date]
),
CALCULATE(
products[total_value],
FILTER(
ALL(products),
products[registration_date] <= [Date]
)
)
)
This measurement starts off well with the calculations but as it progresses through the days it adds slightly different values to the cumulative compared to the value of products[total_value], therefore it alters the cumulative
Same thing for this measurement:
Comulative_2 =
VAR CurrentDate = MAX(products[registration_date])
VAR MinDate = CALCULATE(MIN(products[registration_date]), ALL(products))
VAR CumulativeValue =
IF(
CurrentDate >= MinDate,
SUMX(
FILTER(
ALL(products),
products[registration_date] <= CurrentDate
),
products[total_value]
)
)
VAR PreviousDate = CurrentDate - 1
VAR PreviousCumulativeValue =
IF(
PreviousDate >= MinDate,
SUMX(
FILTER(
ALL(products),
products[registration_date] = PreviousDate
),
products[total_value]
)
)
RETURN
IF(
CurrentDate > MinDate,
CumulativeValue + PreviousCumulativeValue,
CumulativeValue
)
With the above measurement I get a result like this (small example time interval):
products[registration_date] | products[total_value] | COMULATIVE
---------------------------------------------------------------------
22/06/2021 | 0.00 | -2720.00
24/06/2021 | -31020.00 | -64760.00
30/06/2021 | -1824.45 | -79784.45
For example, in the second line, double -31020.00 is inexplicably calculated and -2720.00 subtracted
Thanks so much in advance for your help

@thelu , with help from date/calendar table
Cumm Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),filter(all('Date'),'Date'[date] <=max('Date'[date])))
Cumm Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),filter(allselected(date),date[date] <=max(date[Date])))
Cumm Based on Date = CALCULATE([Net], Window(1,ABS,0,REL, ALL('date'[date]),ORDERBY('Date'[date],ASC)))
Cumm Based on Date = CALCULATE([Net], Window(1,ABS,0,REL, ALLSELECTED('date'[date]),ORDERBY('Date'[date],ASC)))
One month behind
Cumm Sales =
var _date = max('Date'[date])
Var _max = date(year(_date)-1, month(_date), day(_date))
return
CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),filter(all('Date'),'Date'[date] <= _max))

Thanks so much for the reply,
I tried these two formulas:
Cum1= CALCULATE(SUM(products[total_value]),filter(all(products),products[registration_date] <=max(products[registration_date] )))
Cum2 = CALCULATE(SUM(products[total_value]),filter(allselected(products),products[registration_date] <=max(products[registration_date] )))
But in both cases I get the error:
Column 'total_value' of the table 'products' not found or not used in this expression.
And passing over products[total_value] I see the error "the parameter is not of the correct type".
products[total_value] exists and it is a measure that I can also use in other measures, I don't understand this error...
Thanks
