daily columns and 1 summation column

Hi!

 

I have a report which has daily orders and billings. I want to add a column for backlog (any orders that are still open) However, when I try to add it, it just gives me the daily amount, but i would like backlog to be a summation total and not a daily value like the other columns.

Example below: I want a column like in blue, where it gives me the total backlog for each day, and not the daily amount. 

 

Any tips?

Thanks!!

Hi @PBINewbie920 ,

 

Calculate column expression:

Backlog = 
var _2021totalbacklog = 500
return
SUMX(FILTER('Backlog',[Backlog]<=EARLIER('Table'[Date])),[Daily Added])+_2021totalbacklog

 

Measure in visual :

backlog_m =
VAR _2021totalbacklog = 500
RETURN
    SUMX (
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Backlog' ), [Backlog] <= MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ) ),
        [Daily Added]
    ) + _2021totalbacklog

@PBINewbie920 , These tables need to share the common date and other dimension tables.

Then you can show this visual using common date table

 


Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
