I am trying to count distinct values in a by date and create a new measure that calculates the cumulative sum of the distinct counts as the time period progresses: The table on the left is representative of my data table. The table on the right is what I would like to my counts to look like.
Any help you can provide is appreciated!!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Assuming you have a calendar table
https://exceleratorbi.com.au/power-pivot-calendar-tables/
something like this
Distinct products =DISTINCTCOUNT(data[product])
Running total =CALCULATE(sumx(values(calendar[date]),[Distinct Products]),Filter(All(calendar),calendar[date] <= max(calendar[date])))
use the calendar date column in your visual.

HI @Anonymous
I used the below to get the running total.
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Count Distinct Product] ),
ALL ( 'Table' ),
'Table'[Date] < EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] )
)

Thank you! This worked.
