I have a simple data model recording accidents per month and want to create a bar graph showing month accidents and a running total.
Normally this wouldn't be an issue but our Accidents data uses a start month of May i have a custom column to give a value of 1 to May, 2 to June etc. If i create the acumulative total on this value everything works fine:
However i'd rather show the month names rather than number. If i chage the axis the date changes and only shows the actual figure:
The month Name isn't a numerical fielf for me to use in the accumulation calulation. Is there a way to do this?
My measure is:
Hi @Anonymous
Try this:
Meausre=
CALCULATE(
[AccidentsTy],
FILTER(
all(Calendar),Calendar(date)<=max(calendar(date)
)
)

Thanks Vahid, that just gives me a complete total which is the same each month:
It shows the total rather than a running total on both graphs (MonthName and HSMonth)
It would be better if you shared a sample of your data or the PBIX file.
BTE, try this:
Meausre=
CALCULATE(
[AccidentsTy],
FILTER(
all(Data),Data(date)<=max(calendar(date)
)
)

Thanks Vahid,
Almost there. is there a way to account for zero values. Currently it looks like this:
If i use the measure that adds 0 values for the barchart i get the result below:
