Running Total

Good day,

I used a quick measure to get the running total for monthly income. I could not use the DATEYTD because we are working on a financial year starting in March and also using trimesters instead of quarters so, I needed to create new date tables the Month table is not seen as a date table but as a text column. I also can't use calendarauto(2) because that creates a circle dependency with a calculated table used elsewhere. I managed to use the quick measure to create a running total.

My question now is how do get a total of my running total, all my running totals counted together? 

I'm using it in a matirx and that total is just the last months total. 

 

Also i am getting my data from MS Projects PWA through odatafeed 

Thanks in advance 

See below quick measure

The fiscal year is also not seen as a date but as a whole number. When I try to convert the year numbers to date instead of whole numbers, it shows other dates.

And my running total works I just need the total of the running total.

You can used YTD setting the "Fiscal Year end":

 

For example:

 

FYTD = CALCULATE(
[Income],
DATESYTD(Date_Table[Date],"28/02")
)
