Hi
I need to be able to sum values in a column, based on a TYPE attribute in the same row. However, I need to be able to "reset" my cumulative total every time a new "set" of values start.
My data looks like this:
| DateTime | Type | PickWeight |
| 2022/11/04 12:00:00 | pick | 1.023 |
| 2022/11/04 12:00:12 | pick | 1.002 |
| 2022/11/04 12:00:24 | pick | 1.023 |
| 2022/11/04 12:00:36 | pick | 1.042 |
| 2022/11/04 12:00:48 | quality | 1.023 |
| 2022/11/04 12:01:00 | pick | 1.452 |
| 2022/11/04 12:01:12 | stack | 1.425 |
| 2022/11/04 12:01:24 | pick | 1.236 |
| 2022/11/04 12:01:36 | quality | 1.024 |
| 2022/11/04 12:01:48 | pick | 1.024 |
| 2022/11/04 12:02:00 | pick | 1.023 |
| 2022/11/04 12:02:12 | pick | 1.025 |
| 2022/11/04 12:02:24 | quality | 1.124 |
| 2022/11/04 12:02:36 | stack | 1.023 |
| 2022/11/04 12:02:48 | pick | 1.235 |
| 2022/11/04 12:03:00 | pick | 1.302 |
| 2022/11/04 12:03:12 | pick | 1.223 |
| 2022/11/04 12:03:24 | stack | 1.023 |
| 2022/11/04 12:03:36 | pick | 1.231 |
| 2022/11/04 12:03:48 | pick | 1.023 |
| 2022/11/04 12:04:00 | pick | 1.243 |
| 2022/11/04 12:04:12 | quality | 1.245 |
| 2022/11/04 12:04:24 | quality | 1.245 |
| 2022/11/04 12:04:36 | stack | 1.021 |
| 2022/11/04 12:04:48 | pick | 1.021 |
I have sorted the data sequentially, and there are various "TYPES" in the dataset.
A "set" are all the data entries between two "stack" types. I need to then get the total stack weight, which is the sum of all the "PickWeight" values, between two "stack" types.
So the column for "StackWeight" is what i need.
| DateTime | Type | PickWeight | StackWeight |
| 2022/11/04 12:00:00 | pick | 1.023 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:00:12 | pick | 1.002 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:00:24 | pick | 1.023 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:00:36 | pick | 1.042 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:00:48 | quality | 1.023 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:01:00 | pick | 1.452 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:01:12 | stack | 1.425 | 5.542 |
| 2022/11/04 12:01:24 | pick | 1.236 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:01:36 | quality | 1.024 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:01:48 | pick | 1.024 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:02:00 | pick | 1.023 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:02:12 | pick | 1.025 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:02:24 | quality | 1.124 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:02:36 | stack | 1.023 | 3.072 |
| 2022/11/04 12:02:48 | pick | 1.235 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:03:00 | pick | 1.302 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:03:12 | pick | 1.223 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:03:24 | stack | 1.023 | 3.76 |
| 2022/11/04 12:03:36 | pick | 1.231 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:03:48 | pick | 1.023 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:04:00 | pick | 1.243 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:04:12 | quality | 1.245 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:04:24 | quality | 1.245 | |
| 2022/11/04 12:04:36 | stack | 1.021 | 3.497 |
| 2022/11/04 12:04:48 | pick | 1.021 |
If there is someone that can assist me it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @roelf ,
try this
Column =
IF('Tabelle23'[Type] ="stack",
SUMX(
FILTER(
'Tabelle23',
'Tabelle23'[DateTime] <= EARLIER(Tabelle23[DateTime]) && 'Tabelle23'[Type] = "pick"
),
'Tabelle23'[PickWeight]
)
)If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.
Hi @roelf ,
I have created a simple sample, please refer to it to see if it helps you.
Create 2 columns first.
stack = IF('Table'[Type]="stack",0,1)
minflagdate =
calculate(MIN('Table'[DateTime]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[DateTime]>=EARLIER('Table'[DateTime])&&'Table'[stack]=0))
Then create a measure.
Measure = var _1= CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[PickWeight]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[minflagdate]=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[minflagdate])&&'Table'[Type]="pick"))
return
IF(MAX('Table'[Type])="stack",_1,BLANK())

Thanks for the reply @mangaus1111 .
That partially answers my scenario, but as you can see the "Stack Weights" cumulate, example the second stack weight is 9.85, where it should have been 4.308. So I'm wondering if there is a way to substract a stackweight from a previous one ?
