Incremental sum

[#1]

Hello!

I'm looking for a formula that can do this kind of sum. I've called it "incremental sum" but I don't know the proper name.

Value Sum
------------
10 10
8 18 (=10+8)
2 20 (=18+2)
5 25 (=20+5)

Since I don't know how it is called I can't look for it easily on the web. I've tried also with above() but it doesn't work (I'm definitely doing something wrong).

Thank you!

I think it's worth telling you why I need this, because, who knows, maybe there's a better solution!
Having a table with customers and relative sales, descending order, I need to give a specific code for those who make the 80% of the total sales, another for those who make the 15% and another to the others.

Hi mate,

you can use full accumulation in expression tab.

try this !

Thank you NarenB4U for your answer: you also gave me the English name of the kind of sum I'm looking for!

Even if I tried your solution, though, it works only with one dimension. Anyhow, I looked around (thanks again to the English proper name) and I found this working formula: rangesum(above(total thisColumn), sum(Sales)).

Everything works, but I can't order the table for the Sales value when I have this formula activated. Any idea how can I fix this, please?

temp_Data:
LOAD * INLINE [
Value
10
18
23
45
56
];

load Value,
if( ISNUll(peek(Value)),Value,Value+peek(SUM)) as SUM



Resident temp_Data;

Drop temp_Data;

I tried the above code and it is working fine. I ain't sure, this is what you are looking for..

Thank you, Naive, but I can't adopt your solution since I need this table to be calculated on the fly according to the filters I set. The script reported is perfect, but it has this bad drawback...

Thank you anyway for your support!
