Great !! This type of calculation is also very common in financial investments, in which it is necessary to be aware of the amount applied and returned until that last date.

Hi Alberto, First of all, thank you for your work. I'm new to Power BI, now I'm working on the report that should use RT. I modified measures to use the same logic as in your example and it works fine, but after some time I received a new requirement to add the filter to the measures. This additional filter is created based on the Status field from another table. Once I add it my running total doesn't work, can you please help with this? Estimated Sales WIP = VAR SelectedDate = MAX('Date'[Date]) VAR Result = CALCULATE( [Estimated Sales], SelectedYear < ServiceRequest[Closed Date] || ServiceRequest[NotClosedAndBlankCloseDate] = 1, 'Date'[Date]

Second transit was planed for 5 days, becouse of first transit the second transit in real remain 2 days not 5days (3-5=2) Then this 2days take from 3Transit 2days and there remains 6day not 8. Planed days not real days It's just planed days . Fact days is Resalt(Column). I need culculate the risk from bilion rows. I did all my best but could not do it

Thanks Alberto. Quick question. I noticed you created a VAR for Result rather than put after RETURN the all function. Why did you do that? Correct way to write Dax expression using variables? Better performance? VAR trigger the CALCULATE function save the result and then measure just display the outcome rather than trigger the CALCULATE function? But then, on the second measure CALCULATE function is after result. So, not sure which one is the best way to do it? Thanks
@albertoferrari6893

Debugging, mainly. When you want to inspect a partial result of a complex expression, you can just replace the variable returned by the measure with whatever variable is computed in the code. When you are done, you know you only need to restore "RETURN Result" as the last line. After a while, you get used to ALWAYS use RETURN Result as the closing of any measure.

I come from the world of SAP BI and now that I'm learning DAX, I miss some features that seemed simple in WebIntelligence and aren't so much in PowerBI. For example, it would be simpler to create a single measure called "Sales RT" and depending on the context in which it is used, it is calculated automatically, without having to create a variable for date, another by category, another by country, etc. and thus prevent the model from filling up with so many DAX variables. It would be great to have a parameter in the CALCULATE(RunningSum([Sales Amount]),CurrentConext) and this internally to do the rest. If a special calculation is desired, then a variable is created with the context to evaluate.

What if I do not remove the filter on the date table using the ALL function?
@andremunoz3939
Жыл бұрын
Removing the filter with the ALL function enables your running total(s) to hold true when the user adds filter context to the date range. For example, adding a date range slicer is quite common. When the user interacts with the date range slicer - adding filter context to view a smaller range of dates for example - you may not want your running total to "drop" the values outside of the range.

Still report have RT from Jan'18 to Oct'18 ( not started from March'18). Same result shown with and without All function

MAX works in the filter context (ignoring the row context) and gets the maximum date displayed in the current cell of the report (for example, the last day of the month if the cell displays a month). The result of FILTER only includes dates since the first date visible in the entire visual and he filter is applied to the Date column of DatesTable. If DatesTable is marked as a date table (or if the Date column is used in a 1:N relationship) then all the filters on other columns are removed.

Thank you Alberto, for this explanation. Well this one makes sense since you’re using VAR MaxDate which saves outer value. But in your book which I purchased (Definite Guide to DAX - 2nd edition), you gave a perplexing alternative example - which works (and can be found on internet too for topic of running total), but I simply can’t grasp how it’s possible. Excerpt: FILTER(ALL(‘Date’[Date]),’Date’[Date]
@SQLBI
2 жыл бұрын
MAX is executed in the filter context, FILTER generates a row context, if you don't write CALCULATE the row context is still a row context and not a filter context, so the filter context where MAX is executed is the one of the cell where you execute the entire measure in the report. However, using the VAR is much better and easier to read!

We have learned CALCULATE function overrides all the existing filters and sets its own filter given in its parameter. then why are we using ALL function here, whose function is the same to return a complete table removing all the filters If CALCULATE already doesn't respect any filters, why are we still using the ALL function to remove the existing filter in the Date Table? Thanks in advance
@SQLBI

Because you want to remove the filter on all the columns of the date table. That is automatic when you filter the Date column in a table marked as a Date table, but in case it is not marked as such, the filter removal makes the DAX measure safer to use. No performance impact for the additional ALL/REMOVEFILTERS.

What would be the best way to calculate cumulative and 12 month rolling totals by customer? I need to maintain and then aggregate the by-customer amounts for customer segmentation. It seems that this can't be a measure because the customer-level segmentation needs to be maintained and then aggregated. For example, create "small customer" below a certain sales amount for cumulative or rolling 12 month. Then aggregate total of the small customer sales amounts.

You can, but it's going to be extremely expensive. Basically, the running total formula must be computed for each customer and you can use the cumulated formula in the segmentation pattern: www.daxpatterns.com/dynamic-segmentation/

The result is the same, applying a filter over the Date column of a table marked as a date table removes the filter from all the other columns of the same table. It is always better to use a column filter instead of a table filter for performance and for clarity (code is shorter, too).
