Running Total without calculate?

Hello,

is there a way to compute running total without the calculate function? For example via creating a table variable inside a measure and sum it up via sumx?

With this sample data:

 

Date Sales
01.01.2021 123
02.01.2021 423
03.01.2021 535
04.01.2021 66
05.01.2021 22
06.01.2021 11
07.01.2021 11
08.01.2021 33
09.01.2021 44

Thank you very much in advance. 

 

 

Best.

@Applicable88 Yes:

Measure =
  VAR __Date = MAX('Table'[Date])
RETURN
  SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table',[Date] <= __Date),[Sales])

Just me, or is there a missing paren in this?

 

Measure =
VAR __Date = MAX('Table'[Date])
RETURN
SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table',[Date] <= __Date),[Sales])

No doubt, it's your most favooooooooorite way to kick off CALCULATE. 🤣


Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
