Stacked chart

Hey,

How can I create a stacked chart where each subsequent data point represents the cumulative sum of the previous values?

Hi @harry6810 

 

You would need to create a cumulative measure

Culumative Amount =
VAR MaxDate = MAX ( 'Date'[Date] ) 
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        [Sales Amount],   /// Sum of the amountin your table or a count of an id       
        'Date'[Date] <= MaxDate,  
        ALL ( Date )               
    )

 

There are also a number of Time Intelligence measures you could use like

TOTALYTD = TOTALYTD([SalesAmount], 'Date'[Date])
TOTALQTD = TOTALQTD([SalesAmount], 'Date'[Date])
TOTALMTD = TOTALMTD([SalesAmount], 'Date'[Date])

 

Hope this helps

Joe
