Using DAX Calculate in a column to get a column based running total

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a column that will show much a running total as of a given date. I have the function working as you can see below where it is showing me the running total sum of everything that meets the all except filter. However, I am struggling to find a way to filter the sum to only rows with a month value equal to or less than the date in the current row.

 

I.E the results by row should be

Row 1 = 7680

Row 2 = (7680 +2720) = 10,400
Row 3 = (7680 + 2720 - 3964) =  6,436

Etc.

Hi @BradyVan 

Please use the below DAX measure to get desired output. 

RunningTotal = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM(OnHandHistory[QuantityMoved]),
    FILTER(
        ALLEXCEPT(OnHandHistory, OnHandHistory[Item_No], OnHandHistory[Location_Code]),
        OnHandHistory[Month] <= EARLIER(OnHandHistory[Month])
    )
)

 

I implemented the same in my PBI desktop and am getting correct results as per your requirement.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to add pbix file here. Just implement the above DAX code. Please let me know if it works.

Thank you!

Using this other thread. Unsure how to mark as solved.
