Running total to not start from 0 when filtering table by specific date

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a line graph that shows the running total of revenue received. (please see below)

In the above instance it is doing exactly what I want until I filter the graph to only show data from the last 3 years (there are too many blank data points on the x axis and would like to show the data starting from 2019 onwards instead. The issue is the rolling total for the revenue starts back down at £0 when i filter the tables date range.

 (as you can see it has started back down near £0 and the revenue receiced before this point is not accounted for)

 

I want to filter the x axis to make the chart look tidier but i want it to show revenue received up to the starting point, in the above example it should start at around £10K then continue to increase from there. 

 

Thanks 🙂

@RyanLeeMc not sure what DAX expression you are using for running total but this will take care of it:

 

RT Sales = 
CALCULATE ( [Sales], FILTER ( ALL ( 'Calendar'[Date] ), 'Calendar'[Date] <= MAX ('Calendar'[Date] ) ) )
