Cumulative Month

Hi 

Can someone help me with the formula for cumulative but only for:

Cumulative for THIS MONTH

then separate formula for:

Cumulative for LAST MONTH

then separate formula for:

Cumulative for 2 MONTHS AGO

I have a variable already summed up $(vSUM_OF_X) and a date field [Effective Date].

Thanks

Hi Cloe,

You can achieve this by using set expression. Try the below expressions-

For This Month-
sum({$<Date={">=$(=num(monthstart(max(Date)))) <=$(=num(monthend(max(Date))))"}>}Sales)

For Last Month

sum({$<Date={">=$(=num(monthstart(max(Date),-1))) <=$(=num(monthend(max(Date),-1)))"}>}Sales)

For 2nd Last Month -

sum({$<Date={">=$(=num(monthstart(max(Date),-2))) <=$(=num(monthend(max(Date),-2)))"}>}Sales)

Note:- Use your date dimensions and Measures. like- For Date, use [Effective Date]..etc.

Hi VK

Thanks for the response.

Tried it, while the expression says its ok there is no problem, I do get a result of 0 for the current month and for the 2 months ago just returns the total sum all months, not cumulative for the month which is 2 months ago.

sum({$<Date={">=$(=num(monthstart(max([Effective Date]),-2))) <=$(=num(monthend(max([Effective Date]),-2)))"}>}TOTAL_CASH)

Hi Cloe,

 

You need to check the date value from your date field. Check below -

sum({$<[Effective Date]={">=$(=num(monthstart(max([Effective Date]),-2))) <=$(=num(monthend(max([Effective Date]),-2)))"}>}TOTAL_CASH)

Try the above expression, I think it should work now.

Hi Cloe,

The same expression works for me. There must be some Date type of issue.

Could you please let me know the format of your [Effective Date] field?

Hi

The filed is DD/MM/YYYY

What I am trying to do is this formula from POWER BI: 

Cummulative Cash = CALCULATE([Total Cash],FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Date'),'Date'[Date] <= MAX('Date'[Date])))
 
So the result would look like the attached screenshot out of POWER BI

Means it takes the previous months values too. Ex; if I select Feb month means it shows the cumulative sum of Jan+Feb. Similarly for Mar = JanFebMar. Here in this calculation right now I using Order Date but I want to calculate the same formula based on Fiscal month .

So the below works for cumulative 

=RangeSum(Above(TOTAL Sum(TOTAL_CASH), 0, RowNo(TOTAL)))

However am trying to write a cumulative for previous month and month before that.

So then no matter what month I filter on it will take into account the previous month and the month before that.

Example in  the attached, even though I filtered date to be FEB only, I still have the cumulative for the previous 2 months.
