    Hi NewbieJono ,

    I’d like to acknowledge the valuable input provided by sergej_og . His initial ideas were instrumental in guiding my approach. However, I noticed that further details were needed to fully understand the issue.  

    In my investigation, I took the following steps:

    I create a table as you mentioned.

    Then I create a new measure and a calculated column.

    Measure = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[Vol] ),
    FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Days] <= MAX ( 'Table'[Days] ) )
)

    Column = SUM('Table'[Vol])

    Finally I create another measure and get what you want.

    Measure 2 = DIVIDE('Table'[Measure],MAX('Table'[Column]))

     

     

     

    Best Regards

Can you provide this result (from your measure) as a calculated column in your model?
Could make sense to do so.
But you know your model best.

My volume measure  is:

 

Volume Measure = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'FACT- Output'[Total] )
        + CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'FACT - Process Volumes'[Volume] ),
            'FACT - Process Volumes'[NEW Days Range] = "0-1 Days"
        )
)

 

with your code i have managed to get the running total. i just now need to divide each row by the total

    Pls try to get a measure which is ignoring provided filter context. In your screenshot I can identify your given categories (0-1 Days, 1-2 Days etc.).
    Try to create a measure with ALL()...copy your "Volume Measure" and adjust with ALL(your Table data comes from).
    So that you will get 1,257,649 in every row you have in your visual.
    Play a bit around with that. You know your model best.

    After you have your measure with a Total in every row you can just divide one by other.

    Regards

      Thank you, i managed to get it going with a bit of messing (like you said!) The measures have resulted some of the days with no data being shown. Is there a method to stop this in the dax or do I just filter out the blanks.

       

      The measure that is triggering all empty rows to show is

       

      Measure = 
CALCULATE (
    [Volume Measure],
    FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Keying To Output Day] <= MAX ( 'Table'[Keying To Output Day] ) )
)

       

      New output but i don't want to show vol that are blank

        Maybe you can try with a IF-Statement.
        Like this...
        IF( [Volume measure] <> BLANK(),
             [Tes6])
