I am trying to create a running total for the sum column by date for the below table. How can I accomplish this by creating a measure?
| Date | Type | Spend |
| 7/27/2020 | EPL | 1000 |
| 7/27/2020 | GSCS | 1500 |
| 7/27/2020 | EPL | 3000 |
| 7/27/2020 | EPL | 2000 |
| 7/28/2020 | GSCS | 1200 |
| 7/28/2020 | GSCS | 1400 |
| 7/282020 | EPL | 900 |
| 7/29/2020 | GSCS | 750 |
| 7/29/2020 | EPL | 1200 |

@dw700d ,
Try this:
Thank you all for your prompt responses
@dw700d , Try with date table
Cumm Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),filter(date,date[date] <=maxx(date,date[date])))
Cumm Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),filter(date,date[date] <=max(Sales[Sales Date])))
To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :

Appreciate your Kudos.
Hi @dw700d
Try this measure
RuningTotal =
VAR selectedDate = SelectedValue(Table[Date])
VAR FilteredTable = Filter(
All(Table)
, Table[Date] <=selectedDate
)
Return Sumx(filteredTable, Table[Spend])Hope this helps.
Thanks
