Running total between two selected periods

Hello,

I have a fact table with a relationship to a calendar table marked as Date table. Relation ship is one to n based on a date column.

I can create time intelligence clculations like YTD, Previsous year, previos period but I cannot create a running total that would work between two dates, i.e. If I select March to October of one of the year in the table I want to see the cumulative total starting with March value and ending in October as a running total.

It will not work, I tried several calculations, it is just replicating the value for the line not calculating the running total.
Formula 1
PTD Amount USD:=CALCULATE (
SUM(Bol[AmountUSD]);
FILTER (
ALL('Sailing Date'[Sailing Date]) ;
'Sailing Date'[Sailing Date] >= MIN('Sailing Date'[Sailing Date] )&&
'Sailing Date'[Sailing Date] <= MAX ('Sailing Date'[Sailing Date])))

 

Formula 2
Cumulative = CALCULATE (
SUM(Bol[AmountUSD]),
FILTER (
ALLSELECTED( 'BOL' ),
'Bol'[Sailing Date] >=MIN ('Sailing Date'[Sailing Date])&&
'Bol'[Sailing Date] <= MAX ( 'Bol'[Sailing Date] )))

 

I am not sure where to look at to find what is preventing these formulas to work as expected.

Any idea is appreciated, Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for all your suggestions. I finally found a way to calculate this running total using a formula like this one.

 

Cumulative Dollar :=
IF (
    MIN ( 'Dim_Calendar'[ID_Date] )
        <= CALCULATE ( MAX ( BOL[Sailing_Date_Key] ), ALL ( BOL ) );
CALCULATE(SUM(Bol[AmountUSD]),
Filter(
ALLSELECTED('Dim_Calendar'),'Dim_Calendar'[DateASDate]<=MAX('Dim_Calendar'[DateASDate])))
)

Which produces exactly the result I want

  YYYYWK  AmountUSD  Cumulative

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Try this formula, please. The cause is the initial date is dynamic.

Measure 7 =
VAR minDate =
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( 'Sailing Date'[Sailing Date] ),
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Sailing Date'[Sailing Date] )
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        Bol[AmountUSD],
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Sailing Date'[Sailing Date] ),
            'Sailing Date'[Sailing Date] >= minDate
                && 'Sailing Date'[Sailing Date] <= MAX ( 'Sailing Date'[Sailing Date] )
        )
    )

My running total should not have Running Total with date on rows. 

I should use Month Year. Format "May 2019".

As the solution use:

ALLSELECTED ( 'Sailing Date'[Sailing Date] )

 ALL ( 'Sailing Date'[Sailing Date] ),

 

I change to

ALLSELECTED ( 'Sailing Date') Without the column.

ALL ( 'Sailing Date') Without the column.

So it doesn't matter which column from calender table Used on rows, the Running Total will Work.

The code is:

Measure 7.2 = 
VAR minDate =
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( 'Date_2'[Date] );
        ALLSELECTED ( Date_2)
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        [Sales Amount];
        FILTER (
            ALL ('Date_2'  );
            'Date_2'[Date] >= minDate
                && 'Date_2'[Date] <= MAX ( 'Date_2'[Date] )
        )
    )

Hello,

I was able to get the running total calculation working. I can now select any time period and get the running total starting at the begining of the period.

PTD Amount USD:=
IF (
    MIN ('Sailing Date'[date_key])
        <= CALCULATE ( MAX ( BOL[Sailing_Date_Key] ); ALL (Bol ) );
CALCULATE(SUM(Bol[AmountUSD]);
Filter(
ALLSELECTED('Sailing Date');'Sailing Date'[Sailing Date]<=MAX('Sailing Date'[Sailing Date])))
)  

The result is like that

 YYYYWK   AmountUSD   Cumulative

2018461'327'2431'327'243
2018471'192'8902'520'134
2018481'604'9164'125'049
201849745'2564'870'306
20185020'7924'891'098
201851 4'891'098
20190732'8344'923'932
