Running totals for categories and years

Hello

 

I'm totally new to Power BI. I have a problem with calculating running totals. 

This is a view of my data:

I have tried a lot of dax-expressions and this expression works for 1 year (i use a filter on start_year)

running total = calculate(sum('Blad1'[Count]);filter(allselected('Blad1');'Blad1'[catnr]<=SELECTEDVALUE('Blad1'[catnr])))
 
Result:
boa_1-1661781719859.png

 

But now I want a matrix with the categories and years in (so no filter on year) and this is the result. I tried different dax expressions with ALL, ALLSELECTED, MAX, EARLIER,... but i can't find the solution.

I have also made a new table (summarize) and tried it with this table but non of the expressions is working.

 New Table:

Anyone who can help me?

Hi,

Could you please try something like below whether it suits your requirement?

 

running total =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Blad1'[Count] );
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Blad1' );
        'Blad1'[catnr] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Blad1'[catnr] )
            && 'Blad1'[Start_year] = MAX ( 'Blad1'[Start_year] )
    )
)

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but please check the attached file.

I fixed two measures.

Thank you.

@Jihwan_Kim Thank you! It works, you made my day!

Hi,

 

I try now to calculate the percentage of the running total. The DAX expression works again if I filter the data but not without filter on years.

DAX expression:

Percentage running total =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Blad1'[Count] );
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Blad1' );
        'Blad1'[catnr] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Blad1'[catnr] )
            && 'Blad1'[Start_year] = MAX ( 'Blad1'[Start_year] )
    )
)/CALCULATE(SUM('Blad1'[Count]);ALLSELECTED('Blad1'))

 

Result with filter:

Result without filter:

boa_1-1661853611578.png

I tried different expressions but I only get errors :-(.
