Running total problems

Hi, 

Having some issue with running total. Can anyone suggest solution for this?

I have tried something like this, but I get the same result as in totals[total_count] column:

running sum = CALCULATE(totals[total_count], FILTER(stages, stages[created_at] <= MAX(stages[created_at])))
Also in report I dont use any date fields.

@cevara89 , The data you have show stage is sortable, you can use

 

running sum = CALCULATE(totals[total_count], FILTER(stages, stages[stage] <= MAX(stages[stage])))

 

Or Create a stage no column

 

stages no = right([Stage], len([Stage]) -5)

 

and then try

running sum = CALCULATE(totals[total_count], FILTER(stages, stages[stage no] <= MAX(stages[stage no])))

@amitchandak I think your measure needs a fix, need ALL

 

running sum = CALCULATE(totals[total_count], FILTER(ALL(stages), stages[stage] <= MAX(stages[stage])))

@amitchandak Thank you. Solution with stage no (index) works!
