Running Total

I am trying to calculate a running total for a production line based on the Machine name, there is no date value.  I am using a Direct Query to SQL database.  I want to add an exta column for running...

    Eyy, I think I got it. Try this:

     

    RunningTotal2 = MAXX(Table1, SUMX(
FILTER(
	SUMMARIZE(CALCULATETABLE(Table1, ALLEXCEPT(Table1, Table1[Building]), ALLSELECTED(Table1[Building])), Table1[MachineName], "NetVal", SUM(Table1[Fabrication Net Value])),
	[NetVal] >=
		SUMX(FILTER(CALCULATETABLE(Table1, ALLEXCEPT(Table1, Table1[Building]), ALLSELECTED(Table1[Building])), Table1[MachineName]= EARLIER(Table1[MachineName], 2)), Table1[Fabrication Net Value]))
, [NetVal]))

     

    Hopefully you can see how that would scale out to other columns if you had multiple filters.

Here is the measure I used and the results:

 

RunningTotal = MAXX(vwScalesDataFabricationNetValue, CALCULATE(SUM(vwScalesDataFabricationNetValue[Fabrication Net Value]), vwScalesDataFabricationNetValue[Fabrication Net Value] >= EARLIER(vwScalesDataFabricationNetValue[Fabrication Net Value]), ALL(vwScalesDataFabricationNetValue)))

Is each row of the table showing one row in the source data, or a number of rows in the source data?

 

EDIT: If you have the ranking created already, you can probably just replace the Fabrication Net Value with Ranking everywhere but in the SUM, and it should work.

    It is the total of several rows per machine.

      I could write a new measure but this seems like the easiest way.

       

      MAXX(vwScalesDataFabricationNetValue, CALCULATE(SUM(vwScalesDataFabricationNetValue[Fabr​ication Net Value]), vwScalesDataFabricationNetValue[Ranking] >= EARLIER(vwScalesDataFabricationNetValue[Ranking]), ALL(vwScalesDataFabricationNetValue)))

        Tried it but got an error :

         

        A function 'CALCULATE' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed.

         

        The ranking is a measure not a calculated column, does that make a difference?  I have underlined the section highlighted for error.

         

        Running Total = MAXX(vwScalesDataFabricationNetValue, CALCULATE(SUM(vwScalesDataFabricationNetValue[Fabrication Net Value]), vwScalesDataFabricationNetValue[Ranking] >= EARLIER(vwScalesDataFabricationNetValue[Ranking]), ALL(vwScalesDataFabricationNetValue)))
