Use previous total with blank cumulative data

I am running aggregate totals based on GL for one of my reports. There is a gap in entries for a few periods where i would like to carry the previous periods amount if there were no transactions that period. Cant seem to get the logic after the initial cumulative code.  THanks

I am sorry i shouldve been more specific. I do not have an issue with the cumulative total rather when i try to break out the individual GLs and there is no entry for that specific period. This example shows me filtering the cumulative total and in period 6 there is no value so in the table it shows up as blank where i want it to show 27480.48 until period 7 where there is a new entry

Hi there!

For cumulative sum you try this:

CALCULATE (
    SUM ( ColumnToSum ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( DateTable ),
        DateTable[Date] <= MAX ( DateTable[Date] )
    )
)

Let me know if that helps!

@Anonymous , The FiscalProfilePeriod should be a separate table like the date table. and period on axis should also come from FiscalProfilePeriod 

 

and use all on table in place of table column

 

filter(all(FiscalProfilePeriod ), <rest of the code >
