Running total in graph with blank/missing dates

Hi guys,

I've read lots about on this forum about how to andle blanks/missing values in running totals but none helped me in solving my problem (I must point out that these are my firsts months on PowerBI).

 

I'll be short; I have 2 tables:

- Calendar Table: where i collect alla the dates from the lower date of tbale MOVIMENTI to the higher

- MOVIMENTI: it's my main dataset, wich contain values like "DATA" (date in italian), "IMPIANTO" (plant) and TIPO MOVIMENTO (type of action).

 

What I'd like to do is create a runnning total for the measure where I count TIPO MOVIMENTO each day for each plant in order to plot it into a line chart.

Here's where I am now:

As you can see there are days where users don't interact, thus COUNT returns empty/blank and my line chart presente these ugly interrumptions.

 

What can I do?

 

Thanks in advance for your support and keep on helping people like me!💪

 

 

 

PS: these are the formulas I've written in my measures:

Total Tipo movimentoCOUNT(MOVIMENTI[Tipo movimento])

Cumulative Total Tipo MovimentoCALCULATE([Total Tipo movimento]FILTER(ALL('Calendar Table'), 'Calendar Table'[Data] <= MAX('Calendar Table'[Data])))

 

NB: I want to count only one kind of action in TIPO MOVIMENTO, "Cambio tipologia card", but i imagine that isn't a problme beacuase i have filtered the page.

Hi,

Revise your measure to:

Cumulative Total Tipo Movimento = CALCULATE([Total Tipo movimento],DATESBETWEEN('Calendar Table'[Data],MINX(ALL('Calendar Table'),'Calendar Table'[Data]),MAX('Calendar Table'[Data])))

Ensure that on the X-axis of the visual, you drag Month/Year from the Calendat Table.

HiAshish,

unfortunatly that's the output:

It gives back the total for each day and other errors.

 

Here's the CSV of the outputs in case you need (WeTransfer: https://we.tl/t-a8qPgjJaE6) :

- "Your formula" contains the result of your formula in the graph

- "Previous formula" contains the result of my formula in the graph, the empty cells are the ones i want to fill

 

 

Thank you for your support!

Hi,

Share the download link of the PBI file.

Hi Ashish, thanks for your support and sorry for the misunderstanding but, as I told you, these are my first months on PowerBi (and if I'll reach my goals I'll consider to buy the premium version to program the incremental refresh).

 

To share the download link to the file I followed this path: in "Explore related reports" -> Share -> Copy link.

 

Is that the right path?

 

Thank you.

No.  That isn't.  I need the download link of the PowerBI Desktop file.

How can I share it to you? 

Sorry but I don't understand what you ask for.
