    srinivas258 ,

    Try like

    CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Total]),filter(all(Table),Table[stop] <=max(Table[stop])))

    Or
    CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Total]),filter(allselected(Table),Table[stop] <=max(Table[stop])))

      Thanks amitchandak. i tried this and its working CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Total]),filter(allselected(Table),Table[stop] <=max(Table[stop])))

       

      but only other problem is if I add an other column (lets say ColumnA) from different table(lets say TableA) it stopped working.

      Can you please guide me how I can add that column and table to above formula.

    Hi, srinivas258 

     

    Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scebario.

    Table:

     

    You may create two measures as below.

     

    Total = 
var _stop = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Stop])
return
SUMX(
    FILTER(
        ALLSELECTED('Table'),
        'Table'[Stop]<=_stop
    ),
    'Table'[Stop]
)

Running Total = 
var _stop = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Stop])
var tab = 
ADDCOLUMNS(
    ALLSELECTED('Table'),
    "Total",
    CALCULATE(
        SUM('Table'[Stop]),
        FILTER(
            ALLSELECTED('Table'),
            'Table'[Stop]<= EARLIER('Table'[Stop])
        )
    )
)
var newtab = 
ADDCOLUMNS(
    tab,
    "Runnung Total",
    var t = [Total]
    return
    SUMX(
        FILTER(
            tab,
            [Total] <= t
        ),
        'Table'[Total]
    )
)

return
SUMX(
    FILTER(
        newtab,
        [Stop] = _stop
    ),
    [Runnung Total]
)

     

     

    Result:

     

    I wonder what the column from another table is like and if there is a relationship between two tables.

     

    Best Regards

    Allan

      Hi v-alq-msft , amitchandak ,

       

      Apologies for not being clear. Stop and Total are from same table. I have an other column (Stop Description) from other table and I would like to add that to this Running Total table. And there is join in place between these two tables. I tried using lookupvalue for had no luck.

        Hi, srinivas258 

         

        Could you please show some sample data and the expected result with OneDrive for business? Do mask sensitive data before uploading. Thanks.
