  • I'm trying to create running totals in power bi.
    It's fairly easy to cheat using quick measures.

    I have a table with multiple fields. If I want to create a running total for one field it's easy to cheat and use a quick measure:

    Sum of running total in Date =
    CALCULATE(

    SUM('table'[value]),
    FILTER(
        ALLSELECTED('table'[Date]),
        ISONORAFTER('table'[Date], MAX('table'[Date]), DESC)
    )
    

    Which creates a running total of value based on the date. I can use filters / slicers on the page to filter by the other fields (for example [Location]). But what I want to know is:

    How can I create either a measure (dax) or a column in the table (m/powerquery) to create a running total for each location on a date.

    So something like

    ALLSELECTED('table'[Date]),'table'[Location]),
    I would have thought would work but hasn't yet.

    I found this: https://www.myonlinetraininghub.com/grouped-running-totals-in-power-query

    But I couldn't get it to work on more than two groupings.

    But ultimately, what I'd like to do is create running totals for multiple fields (i.e. more than date + location, because there are people of certain ages in the location at certain times).

    So I'd like to be able to say: on 08 04 2021 there were a total of 74 men who'd been to place x, while on 09 04 2021 there were 78 men at location x. Make sense?

    |Date |Location |Sex |Value|
