Running Total

Why does the running total continue even when there are no values in the left column? Is there any way to disable this?

Hey,

 

the running total "runs" for all the dates you are "showing" in your table.

 

You can avoid this if you put something like this around your calculation:

IF(NOT(ISBLANK([yourbasemeasure]))
 ,[yourrunningtotalmeasure]
)

 

Regards

Tom
