Using SWITCH to show previous field value

Hi,

I have this list:

Sprint 1

Sprint 2

Sprint 3

Sprint 4

Sprint 5

 

Each of the sprints has Story Points associated (Numbers)

 

For each Sprint , I need the SUM of Story Points of the PREVIOUS Sprint. (For example, for Sprint 2, I need the sum of Story Points of Sprint 1)

 

So for that, I am using SWITCH, to bring the Sprint Name and the measure of the SUM of Story Points for the PREVIOUS Sprint:

re.png

 

This is an example of the measures I have created

 

re2.png

 

Notice that in the SWITCH , I am calling the Sprint name with the measure of the previous Sprint,

 

I put the Zero just because I was testing, but, any ideas why is not working ? it is showing blank values.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

hi. as you use a measure that enables row-context use a ALL() inside FILTER, like

SUMX(FILTER(ALL(RSRI),RSRI[Sprint Name]=....
