    Hi Anonymous ,

    Depending on what you need,

    The formula I gave, I'm using it in a measure, but if you use it in a calculated column it won't work.

    If you really need a calculated column, the first create a measure using the formula I gave.

    Then create a calculated column where the column is equal to the measure.

    MeaSalesbyNR = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[SALES]),FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[NR] = MAX('Table'[NR]) +1))
    colSalesbyNR = [MeaSalesbyNR]

Thanks so much - sorry not to clarify that I needed a column!

 

What I also came up with is this solution for a column:

 

SalesByNr = 
var CurrentNr = Tabelle1[nr]
return
CALCULATE(SUM(Tabelle1[sales]);FILTER(ALL('Tabelle1'); Tabelle1[nr] = CurrentNr +1))

This gives me the same result. 

In your opinion: are there any drawbacks to this solution?

 

Thanks

Chris

I think the formula you found is even better, since its processing time will be faster than the method I provided.
