Hello everyone,
I hope you're doing well. I have a question regarding creating a running balance DAX formula using a specific data table.
I'm working with a data table that includes columns for Date, Transaction Type (debit or credit), and Amount. My goal is to calculate a running balance based on these transactions. Essentially, I want to derive a cumulative balance that updates with each new transaction, adjusting based on whether it's a debit or credit.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Create a dates table, relate that to your fact table and create this sample measure.
Cumulative Total Revenue =
CALCULATE (
[Total Revenue],
FILTER ( ALL ( Dates ), Dates[Date] <= MAX ( Dates[Date] ) )
)
Please see attached pbix for details.
hi @ronaldbalza2023 ,
Did you use a separate dates table as suggested? On top of that, you must use the date column from that dates table as the filter modifier , ALL ( Dates ), is applied to that table.
