cumulative loss over time

[mpsAutomation]

Hi,

I have two tables, one is a list of jobs with job numbers and job budget, a second table contioans job costs (amount, date)

I want to be able to see in a matrix when the job is loosing, e.g. budget-cumulative, I can get the cumulative but I cannot substract it from the budget

This is what I want to get to 

At the moment All I can see is the cumulative of cost amount but cannot substract tthe budget

Measure 2 =

VAR a = MIN ( 'calendar'[Date] )

VAR maxd = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'MErged costs'[Date] ), ALL ( 'MErged costs' ) )

VAR jobN = SELECTEDVALUE( 'JobList'[Job No.] )

RETURN

    IF (

        a <= maxd,  

        CALCULATE (

            SUM ( 'MErged costs'[Cost] ),

            FILTER ( ALL ( 'calendar' ), 'calendar'[Date] <= a )

        )

    )

Hi , @mpsAutomation 

According to your description, you want to substract the  cumulative  of budget.

If this , you can refer to :
(1)This is my test data:

(2)We can create a measure like this:

Measure = 
VAR a = MIN ( 'calendar'[Date] )
VAR maxd = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'MErged costs'[Date] ), ALL ( 'MErged costs' ) )
VAR jobN = SELECTEDVALUE( 'JobList'[Job No.] )
var _cost = CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'MErged costs'[Cost] ),
            FILTER ( ALL ( 'calendar' ), 'calendar'[Date] <= a )
        )
var _budget = CALCULATE (
            SUM ('Budget Table'[Budget] ),
            FILTER ( ALL ( 'calendar' ), 'calendar'[Date] <= a )
        )
RETURN
    IF (
        a <= maxd,  
        _cost - _budget
    )

(3)Then we can put this measure on the visual and we can get the result like this:

If this method does not meet your needs, you can provide us with your special sample data and the desired output sample data in the form of tables, so that we can better help you solve the problem. (You can also upload you sample .pbix [without sensitive data] to the OneDrive and share with the OneDrive link to me ! )

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!
