Running Total of Running Total - DAX Help

Hi everyone,

 

I am working with a report where a rolling sum is being calculated with the following measure:

RollingSum = CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Table1[InitialValue]),
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( Table1 ),
        Table1[enddate] <= MAX ( Table1[enddate] )
    )
)
 
What I need is an additonal measure which calculates the rolling sum of the first rolling sum. Since the first rolling sum is a measure itself, I can't quite sort out how to do this in DAX. Any ideas?

 

Thank you!

@DavidS524 This looks like a measure aggregation problem. See my blog article about that here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Design-Pattern-Groups-and-Super-Groups/ba-p/138149

The pattern is:
MinScoreMeasure = MINX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
MaxScoreMeasure = MAXX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
AvgScoreMeasure = AVERAGEX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
etc.

 

Also, you might find the techniques used here valuable as it works with either a physical table or a virtual table (var).

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Thanks, Greg! I'll will take a look at this and try to come up with a solution.
