Hello Community,
I am looking for a way to calculcate the running total for a number of years or months. E.g. I want to accumulate the values like:
Running Total 1 Year
Running Total 2 Year
Running Total 3 Year
Running Total 4 Year
And have it all displayed in a table to consists of 20+ years.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
I am not sure if I understood your question correctly without seeing how expected outcomes look like, but please try to write measures like below.
Running total one year measure: =
SUMX (
DATESINPERIOD ( 'Calendar'[Date], LASTDATE ( 'Calendar'[Date] ), -1, YEAR ),
[Your total measure]
)
Running total two years measure: =
SUMX (
DATESINPERIOD ( 'Calendar'[Date], LASTDATE ( 'Calendar'[Date] ), -2, YEAR ),
[Your total measure]
)
Running total three years measure: =
SUMX (
DATESINPERIOD ( 'Calendar'[Date], LASTDATE ( 'Calendar'[Date] ), -3, YEAR ),
[Your total measure]
)
that seemed to be working 🙂 thank you
