Rolling Total / Cumulative Sum by month and by year

[Anonymous]

Thank you in advance for the help (including redirects to existing forum solutions).   I know this is "old hat," but how do I get the trends to span multiple years instead of alternating years each month.  If I have a single year, the trends are fine, but when I select multiple years, the trends do this (below)... instead of trending up to December and then going back down to zero at the subsequent January.

  

OnlySpend Cumulative =

CALCULATE(

    'Final Spend'[Spend],

    FILTER(

        ALLSELECTED('Calendar Table 2')

        ,'Calendar Table 2'[DATE] <=max('Calendar Table 2'[DATE]) ) )

@Anonymous , You need cumulative or YTD

for YTD, you ned have month on axis and year on legend in this case

with help from date table

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))

Cumulative

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)))

Consider windows for every thing

Thank you.  I eventually got it to work.   Final code was:

CALCULATE(SUMX('Final Spend', 'Final Spend'[Amount USD]),

    FILTER(

        ALLSELECTED('Calendar Table 2')

        ,'Calendar Table 2'[DATE] <= MAX('Calendar Table 2'[DATE]))

        , 'Final Spend'[CATEGORY] <> "Month Budget"

        , 'Final Spend'[CATEGORY] <> "Spend Delta")

That said, I have a couple follow-up question...

Why did SUMX work for me rather than SUM?  I am still a little confused about the difference between the two.   I am still trying to understand how these two differ in what/how they output.
