Running total

Hi All,

 

I want to create a running total (Not YTD) based on previous 12 months. eg; in May 2017 result should be the count of data points from April 2016 and April 2017 count of data points from March 2016.

 

I used following formula, which doesn't sum up the 12 months data.

RN = CALCULATE(COUNT(DATA[Risk Number]),DATESINPERIOD(DATA[Date Occurred],Lastdate(DATA[Date Occurred]),-12,MONTH))

                             

                                    

Appreciate if anyone has a solution for it.

Please create a relationship between the Calendar and LTI table. Then use YearMonth in the X-Axis of the Line chart as below.

Hi Herbert @v-haibl-msft,

 

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. It only returns the total of the month not the aggregate value of last 12 months.

That's strange. It works in my attached .pbix file. Could you please share your .pbix file through online file service like OneDrive? So that I can look into it.

 

Best Regards,
Herbert

Please try with following two measures.

 

Total_1 = 
IF (
    ISBLANK ( SUM ( Table1[Sales] ) ),
    BLANK (),
    CALCULATE (
        SUM( Table1[Sales] ),
        DATESBETWEEN (
            'Calendar'[Date],
            FIRSTDATE ( DATEADD ( 'Calendar'[Date], -11, MONTH ) ),
            LASTDATE ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
        )
    )
)
Total_2 = 
IF (
    ISBLANK ( SUM ( Table1[Sales] ) ),
    BLANK (),
    CALCULATE (
        SUM( Table1[Sales] ),
        DATESBETWEEN (
            'Calendar'[Date],
            FIRSTDATE ( DATEADD ( 'Calendar'[Date], -12, MONTH ) ),
            ENDOFMONTH ( DATEADD ( 'Calendar'[Date], -1, MONTH ) )
        )
    )
)
