Running total in Calculated Column using multiple criteria

Hello Community,

 

I am trying to calculate the running total of a value based on 2 different columns, date and type. I have a measure that does this successfully for 2 different values, however, now I need to be able to compare the those 2 running totals to find which RT of value 2 is the closest to value 1. The problem that I have encountered is that I cannot use the MAX function on a measure, so I have been trying to recreate my running total on a calculated column to achieve what I need. 

 

The measures I have that work perfectly right now are:

 

RT Value1:= IF(SELECTEDVALUE(Table[DATE])
> calculate(
LASTNONBLANK(Table[DATE], 1),
FILTER(all(Table),Table[Value1] <> 0)),BLANK(),

CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Value1]),
FILTER( ALLSELECTED('Table'[DATE]), 'Table'[DATE] <= MAX(Table[DATE])
)
))

 

RT Value2:= CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Value2]),
FILTER(
ALLSELECTED('Table'[DATE]),
ISONORAFTER('Table'[DATE], MAX('Table'[DATE]), DESC)
)
)

 

This is the formula I am using for my Calculated Column that is not working:

 

RT Value1 Calc Column = IF(SELECTEDVALUE(Table[DATE])
> calculate(
LASTNONBLANK(Table[DATE], 1),
FILTER(all(Table),Table[Value1] <> 0)),BLANK(),

CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Value1]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(Table,Table[Type]), Table[DATE] <= MAX(Table[DATE]))))

 

Here is an example of my dataset:

 

DateValue1RT Value1RT Value1 Calc Column
6/30/2020$0$0$5,216,939
7/31/2020$18,322$18,322$31,301,637
8/31/2020($13,669)$4,653$32,692,821
9/30/2020$45,317$49,970$50,082,619
10/31/2020$49,553$99,523$49,734,823
11/30/2020$27,554$127,077$43,474,495
12/31/2020$120,843$247,920$44,170,087
1/31/2021$27,568$275,488$49,387,027
2/28/2021$33,303$308,791$47,648,047
3/31/2021$39,005$347,796$52,864,986
4/30/2021$0$347,796$21,563,350
5/31/2021$0 $21,911,146
6/30/2021$0 $21,911,146
7/31/2021$0 $21,911,146
8/31/2021$0 $24,345,717

 

Type in my dataset is the item type for each of of those values and dates, meaning, I need the running total calculated for each item based on the dates; as I change my filter from item 1 to item 2, etc, the new running total that comes up will be for that new item selected.

 

I have been trting different formulas based on Community posts regarding running totals for columns, but nothing has worked so far and I believe I have exhausted my search.

 

Thank you!

  • Turns out my logic was correct, I just needed to change the setting on my column to "Do not Summarize". Worked like a charm!
