Hello all,
I'm needing some help with some seemingly simple DAX that is just stumping me.
What I have now is a measure for the running total of a column that tracks pounds of product. Here is the DAX.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I can see that you have a Date column. This can be used in the formula, instead of using Index column.
I tried to create another sample pbix file like the attached, and please check.
Thanks.
Hi,
I am not sure how your data model looks like, but please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.
I tried to create a sample pbix file, and I hope the below helps.
All measures are in the attached pbix file.
Would there be a way to do this without an index column? I have entries into the table coming from mulitple job locations and I'm trying to do the product total per job location. I would have mentioned that before but I was unaware that the index would be necessary.
The only way that I can get the running total to accumulate correctly is from the formula that I posted above. When using the formula in your example .pbix it would simply sum the entire column and insert that number into each row.
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback.
Please share your sample pbix file, and then I can try to provide more accurate solution that suits your case.
Thanks.
For some reason I am unable to attach an example .pbix, so I will try to explain my situation a bit better.
So, I have the listed the formula above as the way in which I have calculated a running total. This running total works when I apply a filter for job location. So when I have job location selected as "Location 2" the running total is correct for that location.
Thanks to you, I have also been able to establish a group measure that counts how many times that total has gone past 100,000,000. What I am stuck on is that since I don't have an index column I am unable to use your DAX for the reset cumulative which is as follows:
| Date | Total Product | ProductRT | Grouping 100M | Job Location |
| 9/25/2020 | 962460 | 962460 | 1 | 6 |
| 9/26/2020 | 3383240 | 4345700 | 1 | 6 |
| 9/27/2020 | 3371960 | 7717660 | 1 | 6 |
| 9/28/2020 | 3379900 | 11097560 | 1 | 6 |
| 9/29/2020 | 3868830 | 14966390 | 1 | 6 |
| 9/30/2020 | 3859250 | 18825640 | 1 | 6 |
| 10/1/2020 | 3864460 | 22690100 | 1 | 6 |
