Hello - I have a data table, Table A, from which I want to store the sum of one of the columns, Column A, basically create a new table, Table B, with one column, Column B, being the sum of Column A. Table A is refreshed weekly, so I want each row of Column B to be each new sum of Column A. Table B would have another column, Column C, that would be the refresh date of Table A. How do I do this or is there a better way to go about this?
Table A | Table B | |||
Column A | Column B | Column C | ||
Original | 3 | 3 | Original Date | |
After refresh 1 -> | 2 | 5 | Refresh 1 date | |
After refresh 2 -> | 3 | 8 | Refresh 2 date | |
After refresh 3 -> | 4 | 12 | Refresh 3 date | |
After refresh 4 -> | 5 | 17 | Refresh 4 date |
Hi @bobbydoll11
To my knowledge this is not possible. Power BI is a data exploration/visualization tool.
Historical data can't be stored automatically when refreshing.
you could disable “Include in Report Refresh” to keep a “history table”, more detalis please see here:

But it seems diffucult to achieve your requirements currently.
