Running Total By Month on Date Table

Hello - I have seen many answers to this questions but none seem to work in my situation. I have a date table (date, day, month, etc) and a column showing business days. I would like to have a MTD business days calculation that is a running total up to the current day and starting over at the beginning of each month. Should

 

Date          Business Days    Running Total
Jan 1                   1                     1

Jan 2                   1                     2

Jan 3                   1                     3

....

Feb 1                   1                     1

 

 

Any thoughts?

Hi  @thampton  ,

According to your description, I create this data from 2021.1.1-2021.2.28:

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create calculated table.

Business Day =
var _weekday=WEEKDAY('Table'[date])
return
IF(OR(_weekday=6,_weekday=7),0,1)
running total =
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Business Day]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Business Day]=1&&'Table'[Month]=EARLIER('Table'[Month])&&'Table'[date]<=TODAY()))

2. Result.
