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)
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?
Solved! Go to Solution.
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] )
)
)
Hi,
I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but please check the attached file.
I fixed two measures.
Thank you.
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:
Result with filter:
Result without filter:
I tried different expressions but I only get errors :-(.
