    Hi Anonymous ,

    Your DAX expression does indeed not lead to the expected results. The solution of Tahreem24  is also not working, as you cannot use EARLIER() in a measure. However, you can use it in a Calculated Column.

    Try the following DAX in a calculated column:

    Total =
    VAR currentRowDate = 'Table'[Date]
    VAR currentPerson = 'Table'[Person]
    RETURN
    CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Usage]), FILTER(Table, 'Table'[Date] = currentRowDate && 'Table'[Person] = currentPerson))

    If you want to understand what this does, let me know! I wrote it out so it is the most readable for you 🙂

     

    Kind regards

    Create a measure like below :
    Total = CALCULATE (SUM(Table[Usage]), Filter(Table, Table[Datecolumn]=Earlier(Table[Datecolumn ] )&&Table [Person] =Earlier (Table[Person])))

    Please replace, with & &
