Running total

Hello everybody,

I have a CALENDAR table in my data model. I have too two more tables: WAREHOUSES and TARGETS:

IDWAREHOUSE
AWarehouse1
BWarehouse2
CWarehouse3

 

YEARWAREHOUSETARGET
2017A $    5.000,00
2017B $ 10.000,00
2017C $ 20.000,00
2016A $    6.000,00
2016B $ 25.000,00
2016C $ 18.000,00

 

The TARGETS table is not related with de CALENDAR table but is related with the WAREHOUSES table. I have too a measure MonthTarget = SUM(Target)/12

 

I need the running total for Target field in this matrix visualization:

 

YEAR2017
WAREHOUSEA
MonthTarget
January $       416,67
February $       833,34
March $    1.250,00

  

The YEAR and WAREHOUSE fields are filters and the value of 416,67 is the MonthTarget value of the A warehouse for the year 2017. For a whole year it would be:

YEAR2017
WAREHOUSEA
  
MonthTarget
January $       416,67
February $       833,34
March $    1.250,00
--- $    1.666,67
--- $    2.083,34
--- $    2.500,00
--- $    2.916,67
--- $    3.333,34
--- $    3.750,00
--- $    4.166,67
--- $    4.583,34
December $    5.000,00

 

How can I calculate this measure?

Thank you.

In looking at your data layout and calculation, I would create a MONTH column in your Calendar table and do something like:

 

Measure = MonthTarget * AVERAGE(Calendar[Month])

Yes, but the result is the same value of the month target for every mont, like this:

MonthTargetRunningTotal
January $       416,67 $       416,67
February $       833,34 $       416,67
March $    1.250,00 $       416,67

 

Can you post that formula?

RunningTotal =
CALCULATE(
[MonthTarget];
FILTER(
ALLSELECTED('Calendar'[Month]);
ISONORAFTER('Calendar'[Month]; MAX('Calendar'[Month]); DESC)
)
)
