Running total of TOPN

Hello,

 

I would need help to recreate a view previously used in excel in Power BI.

 

I have revenue data for customers.
My client is used  to an excel report with the Top 10 customers per period and that view also includes a running total.In excel it is very easy to build a pivot and then just format it nicely.

I'm unable to recreate the same in Power BI. I of course am able to create the top 10 list and add revenue, but  I'm unable to recreate the running total in the same way.

Would there be a way to recreate the same structure?

Thank you

This is the sample dataset I used.

Hello @bundipapa if dates are not available, then you have to create a numeric column as reference to create running total because minimum, lessthan or equal to all these functions will work only either on dates or numerics. So create a numeric column with reference to the customer.

For example A-1, B-2...... Z-26 then in the running total calculation use that numeric column under fields. This will help you to create running total.
