cumulative sum without date

[Anonymous]

Hi! I need to identify the most sold products which represent 80% of my sales. For instance:

PRODUCT           SALES           CUMULATIVE SALES

A                           50                             50

B                           20                             70

C                          10                              80

D                           8                              88

E                           7                               95 

F                           5                              100

Therefore, products A, B and C represents 80% of my sales.

I am able to get cumulative sales with a date dimension, but for this exercise, date is not taken into account.

Regards.

@Anonymous ,

Can you try like

Cumm Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Sales]),filter(Table,Table[PRODUCT] <=maxx(Table,Table[PRODUCT])))
Cumm Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Sales]),filter(Table,Table[PRODUCT] <=max(Table[PRODUCT])))

You can also use the quick measure to create running total

Thanks for your answer but none of your measures cumulate sales. All of them only show up Sales without cumulation

[amitchandak]

Try with all. Have you tried quick measure

Cumm Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Sales]),filter(all(Table),Table[PRODUCT] <=maxx(Table,Table[PRODUCT])))
Cumm Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Sales]),filter(all(Table),Table[PRODUCT] <=max(Table[PRODUCT])))

Sorry but none works:

Cumm Sales maxx = CALCULATE(SUM(SALES[SALES]);filter(SALES;SALES[PRODUCT]<=maxx(SALES;SALES[PRODUCT])))

Cumm Sales max = CALCULATE(SUM(SALES[SALES]);filter(SALES;SALES[PRODUCT]<=max(SALES[PRODUCT])))

@Anonymous , I think the last column is working, sort on product and check . Also you can move product in separate Tale and join on the product and try

Cumm Sales max = CALCULATE(SUM(SALES[SALES]);filter(All(Product;Product[PRODUCT]<=max(Product[PRODUCT])))

@amitchandak Thanks for your answer but I need to identify the most sold products, so I need to start cumulating from the most sold to the least sold product.

Creating a new table for Product gives me the same result.

@Anonymous , Please find the attached solution

@amitchandak I really appreciate your help but your measure works because A is the most sold product and F is the least sold product.

If you change the product names to other which do not meet the alphabet order, the formula does not work. For instance:

May you please try with these product names?

Thanks in advance

Cumulative is based on the sort order , You can sort on sales

Cumm1 = CALCULATE(sum('product'[SALES]),FILTER(all('product'),'product'[SALES]>=MAX('product'[SALES])))

Better you create a dense rank and use that. New column

rank = ranks(all(Product),Product[sales],,asc,dense)

Use rank in last formula

@amitchandak This is the measure I was looking for!

Cumm1 = CALCULATE(sum('product'[SALES]),FILTER(all('product'),'product'[SALES]>=MAX('product'[SALES])))

Thanks a million!

This is a standard pattern. You can read about it here https://www.daxpatterns.com/abc-classification-dynamic/

Sorry but this example does not fit as my exercise has only one table with these two columns. I just need to set up cumulative sales
