I am trying to create a running sum formula for a graph.
The X-Axis should have the Date
The Y-Axis should have the Running Sum Amount
The Legend should be the transaction type, and those transaction types inlcude:
This is my formula for the running sum, but it isn't working correctly.
How should this formula be written?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @vsslasd1
You can try the following methods.
Column:
Column =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ),
FILTER (
'Table',
[OverrideDate] <= EARLIER ( 'Table'[OverrideDate] )
&& [Transaction_Type] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Transaction_Type] )
)
)
Measure:
Running sum =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ),
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table' ),
[OverrideDate] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[OverrideDate] )
&& [Transaction_Type] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Transaction_Type] )
)
)
Result:
Is this the result you expect?

Hi, @vsslasd1
Can you provide sample data for testing? Sensitive information can be removed in advance. What kind of expected results do you expect? You can also show it with pictures or Excel. I look forward to your response.

when you say it isn't working, can you explain what is not working?
also are you able to provide any sample data?
can you explain what you are trying to do with the date?
Proud to be a Super User!

And the chart is here, but this does not correlate to the data:
X Data Point is the Overridedate column, Running sum and transaction type= ChartTranType
