Alternate states in expression

Hi Community,

My dataset is like below:

Year Month Volume
2022 Jan 56471
2022 Feb 55007
2022 Mar 57326
2022 Apr 57699
2022 May 60444
2022 Jun 57500
2022 Jul 53942
2022 Aug 63657
2022 Sep 56893
2022 Oct 64409
2022 Nov 63278
2022 Dec 58469

 

I would like to use range sum to check the rolling number, while when use the rangesum() function with Alternate State, the results are not accurate,

my expression is  rangesum( sum({$*[Year 1]} Volume)), where [Year 1] is my alternate state name, and results are showed as below, correct results also be listed,

Is there any thing I need to change in my expression? 

Thanks in advance

May try this.

RangeSum(above(sum({$*[Year 1]} Volume) ,0,rowno()))

Hi Iam,

The volume column was calculated by sum({$*[Year 1]} Volume), and after I tried the expression you provided, the results are same.

 Simple try this RangeSum(above(sum( Volume) ,0,rowno(Total))) and tell why you need {$*[Year]. i think work without this also

Hi,

Try this:

RangeSum(above(Total sum(Volume) ,0,rowno(Total)))

RangeSum(above(sum({$*[Year 1]} Volume) ,0,rowno(total)))

Hello @ninawang99 
I assume you want to presever the cumulative number per month after you select a specified month no?
if this is the case then your expression would look something like this:
=RangeSum(
Sum([Volume]),
Above(Sum({<[Month]>}[Volume]))
)
*
Avg(1)
