Small Multiples Sum Wrong Values

Hi all, 

 

I'm using small multiples to create a chart that gets the running sum of each broker I have. 

To do the running sum, I use this formula (which works great): 

Measure = CALCULATE(SUM(Sheet1[Value]), FILTER(ALLSELECTED(Sheet1), Sheet1[date] <= MAX(Sheet1[date])))
 
The problem is that when I filter more than one small multiple, the values gets messed up.
Example: 
If I select only broker 1:  THIS IS CORRECT

If I select a second one on the filter: WRONG, The first one sums the value second one (14M) and both become wrong:

Does anyone know how I could solve this please:

Thanks in advance

You can't use ALLSELECTED in that scenario and you shouldn't use MAX in the way you do.

cumul = 
var d = max(Sheet1[date])
return CALCULATE(sum(Sheet1[Value]),Sheet1[date]<=d)

Hi @lbendlin , 

 

Thanks for the reply. I tested it and it's pretty much what I need. The only issue is that I couldn't make it work using Date Hierarchy, only with the full date value. Is there anything I can do to make this work? 

 

Thanks a lot

Leo 

The use of date hierarchies is discouraged. Use a proper calendar table in your data model.

Hi @lbendlin 
I tried to create a calendar table, but did not manage to use the drill down function (which I need). Without a date hierarchy I couldn't see only month and year without the day, but with the possibility to drill down to days if I need. 

 

Thanks,
Leo
