Remove Blank Rows From a Running Total Calculation
I have the following Powerbi table visual, for which I am trying to add a running total for MeasureA using the Sortindex and not Reportdate to filter earlier results.
The measure I have written for the running total is as follows:
RunTotalMeasureA =
VAR CurrentIndex =
SELECTEDVALUE ( Ledger[SortIndex] )
VAR FilteredTable =
FILTER ( ALL ( Ledger ), Ledger[SortIndex] <= CurrentIndex )
RETURN
CALCULATE ( [MeasureA], FilteredTable )
This works ok, but includes all SortIndex values when added to the table visual even if there is no value for MeasureA. Thus:
Ideally, I would like to not show the blank rows and display only those for which measureA has a value. Is there any way I can rewrite the filter code - FILTER ( ALL ( Ledger ), Ledger[SortIndex] <= CurrentIndex ) to achieve this?
Russ one way is this:
RunTotalMeasureA = VAR MeasureValue = [MeasureA] VAR CurrentIndex = SELECTEDVALUE ( Ledger[SortIndex] ) VAR FilteredTable = FILTER ( ALL ( Ledger ), Ledger[SortIndex] <= CurrentIndex ) RETURN CALCULATE ( [MeasureA], FilteredTable ) * DIVIDE ( MeasureValue, MeasureValue )

Works perfect. Clever solution!!
In Dax Studio this code produces a table removing the Blanks, but Im not sure how to evaluate the running total from here.
EVALUATE
Filter(
SUMMARIZE(
Ledger,
Ledger[SortIndex],
Ledger[AccReportDate],
"MesA",
[MeasureA]
),
ISBLANK([MesA])=False()
)
