I have a table shown Below:

I need to have a 4th line that takes a cumulative total over the months. So February shows the total for Jan and Feb, March Shows Jane Feb & March etc. I have tried the Running Total Function but it doesnt seem to do what i want.

 

This is the Filters i Have also:

It is taking a sharepoint list and filtering to 2022 only. The Choice field on the list is for Closed and Open NCR's. i then have a difference line between the two to show backlog.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please try the measure.

 

Measure = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[Backlog] ) + SUM ( 'Table'[Closed] )
        + SUM ( 'Table'[Open] ),
    DATESINPERIOD ( 'Calendar'[Date], MAX ( 'Calendar'[Date] ), -2, MONTH )
)

@Anonymous , usally we have this kind of measure for running total

 

Cumm = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),filter(allselected('Date'),'Date'[date] <=max('Date'[date])))

 

 

Cumm = CALCULATE(SUMX(Values('Date'[Month]), [Measure]) ,filter(allselected('Date'),'Date'[date] <=max('Date'[date])))
