Sum cumulative measures

[TTS]

I have measure that calculates cumulative sales from fact_sales. Then I have another measure that calculates cumulative sum for backlog from fact_ob. Both tables are linked to dim_calendar.

Now I need 3rd measure that combines these two together to show total demand. I was able to make it happen in matrix visual but not in graph.

Any ideas?

Hello, you should have something similar to this measure

TotalCumulativeDemand =
VAR CurrentDate = MAX(dim_calendar[Date]) // Get the current date from the axis
VAR CumulativeSales =
CALCULATE(
SUM(fact_sales[SalesAmount]), // Replace with your actual sales column
FILTER(
ALL(dim_calendar[Date]),
dim_calendar[Date] <= CurrentDate
)
)
VAR CumulativeBacklog =
CALCULATE(
SUM(fact_ob[BacklogAmount]), // Replace with your actual backlog column
FILTER(
ALL(dim_calendar[Date]),
dim_calendar[Date] <= CurrentDate
)
)
RETURN
CumulativeSales + CumulativeBacklog

Or you can try to do it with New visual calculation

If it is not what you are trying to achieve, let me know and maybe share an example with us

Basically this solved the case. Just needed some tuning for some points for my case and data. Great thanks.
