    Hi 1katznir 

    I think you want to calculate the running total for each Start_OF_Month_Date by Cohort_Month.

    And compare the expense with measure to calculate the min Cohort_Month for each Start_OF_Month.

    I build two measures:

    Running Total Booking Amount = 
SUMX (
    FILTER (
        ALL ( BOOKING_MONTHLY_COHORT ),
        BOOKING_MONTHLY_COHORT[Start_OF_Month_Date]
            = MAX ( BOOKING_MONTHLY_COHORT[Start_OF_Month_Date] )
            && BOOKING_MONTHLY_COHORT[Cohort_Month]
                <= MAX ( BOOKING_MONTHLY_COHORT[Cohort_Month] )
    ),
    BOOKING_MONTHLY_COHORT[Booking_Amount]
)
    M.Cohort_Month = 
VAR _RunningTotalExpense_Amount =
    SUMX (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( BOOKING_MONTHLY_COHORT ),
            BOOKING_MONTHLY_COHORT[Start_OF_Month_Date]
                = MAX ( BOOKING_MONTHLY_COHORT[Start_OF_Month_Date] )
                && BOOKING_MONTHLY_COHORT[Cohort_Month]
                    <= MAX ( BOOKING_MONTHLY_COHORT[Cohort_Month] )
        ),
        BOOKING_MONTHLY_COHORT[Expense_Amount]
    )
VAR _COHORT =
    MINX (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( BOOKING_MONTHLY_COHORT ),
            BOOKING_MONTHLY_COHORT[Start_OF_Month_Date]
                = MAX ( BOOKING_MONTHLY_COHORT[Start_OF_Month_Date] )
                && [Running Total Booking Amount] >= _RunningTotalExpense_Amount
        ),
        BOOKING_MONTHLY_COHORT[Cohort_Month]
    )
RETURN
IF(NOT(ISBLANK(_COHORT)),IF(MAX(BOOKING_MONTHLY_COHORT[Cohort_Month])=_COHORT,_COHORT,BLANK()),BLANK())

    Result is as below.

    You can download the pbix file from this link: Running Total Cohort DAX

Hi 1katznir 

I download your pbix, but when I open it, it says I need to sign in snowflake or I can see nothing about your data model.

Can you show me a screenshot of your data model and tell me your calculate logic, and it may make it easier for me to understand your requirement.

Here I will give some advice.

I think you may try this measure:

 

Measure =
SUMX (
    FILTER (
        BOOKING_MONTHLY_COHORT,
        [START_OF_MONTH_DATE] = MAX ( [START_OF_MONTH_DATE] )
            && [COHORT_MONTH] = MAX ( [COHORT_MONTH] )
    ),
    [BOOKING_AMOUNT]
)

 

Best Regards,

Rico Zhou

Thanks for you reply, still not working as expected,

please note that I would like to have the running total on the cohort month, so I believe I should use <= (please correct me if I am wrong)

    Hi 1katznir 

    Could you show me a sample of your table?

    From your data model I know you build a DIM Date Table and related two tables by Start_month_date column.

    But I am still confused about cohort month , if you give a sample table, it will make it easier for me to understand.

    Or you can share me a pbix file from you OneDrive for Business.
