Rolling Sum of a Cumulative Total

Hello again.

 

Still cannot figure out the DAX to solve my issue:

 

First column is yearmonth

 

Second column is monthly sales

 

Third column is cumulative sales since the launch of the product (e.g., 659 = 655+4), calculated via the following Measure:

Cumulative_Sales = CALCULATE('FACT'[Sales],FILTER(ALLSELECTED('FACT'),'Calendar'[Date]<=max('Calendar'[Date])))
 

Fourth column is rolling 3 month sum of Second column (e.g. 64 = 28+4+32), calculated via the following Measure

3M_Rolling_Sales =
CALCULATE (sum('FACT'[Sales]),DATESINPERIOD ('Calendar'[Date],LASTDATE ( 'Calendar'[Date] ),-3,MONTH))
 
Fifth column ... WHAT IS THE MEASURE'S EXPRESSION for the 3M_Rolling_CUMULATIVE_Sales? I cannot generate it
3M_Rolling_CUMULATIVE_Sales ... i.e. for 201905 ... I should have: 687+659+655 = 2,001

Could anyone please help ?

Thank you in advance.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. I believe the measure creates a cumulative sum of your rolling 3 month sales.

"Fifth column ... WHAT IS THE MEASURE'S EXPRESSION for the 3M_Rolling_CUMULATIVE_Sales?"

Isn't that what you need?

Try:

 

3 Month Cumulative =
SUMX (
    SUMMARIZE (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Calendar' ),
            'Calendar'[Date] <= MAX ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
        ),
        'Calendar'[YearMonth],
        "3MonthRSales", [3M_Rolling_Sales]
    ),
    [3MonthRSales]
)

Getting close: This created the cumulative sum of the total column since product launch. How limit that to a 3 month rolling sum ?

@JMSNYC , Create a measure like this with date table and try

 

Rolling 3 = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],MAX('Date'[Date ]),-3,MONTH))

Unfortunately, it does not work. This is the formula I used in Column 4 (with LASTDATE vs. MAX), but still gives me same output 😞
