    Power Bi Runing total controlled by slicer

    Hi,
    I have asked this question on Mr Excel as I have found the porblem to be caused by the Calendar / Date table, I have not found a solution to the problem.

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.

    I have asked this question using a Power pivot example so if i'ts considered duplicate, could that one be closed.

    The Problem is caused by the date table, as soon as I disconnected it and used the date column from the fact table everytihing worked as it should,
    but even if i used the dates from the

    Essentially, I have a matrix with a dates, total sales and a cuumlative total, and slicer to control it, but the running totals are completely

    incorrect, it's giving me the cumualative total for 'all' the values but in the 'sliced visual', I have attached the file as a text doc, so will

    need changing back to .pbix . , I've also attached a pivot table showing the correct results I'd like in the matrix.
    I can see what the problem is
    the unsliced running total may go 7, 10 17, 25, 30 40,50 etc. but when the slicer is applied rather than using the totals from the sliced data they're coming from the unsliced.

    How can I get round this, I have a file I downloaded and applied a running total to and a slicer and on this it works, but I can't see what I'm doing wrong?

    There was no good reason to start a new thread - you could simply have added to the previous one. Don't do this again, please.

    I've closed the earlier thread and linked to this one.

    I have found the problem, the 'calendar' table, when related to the fact table , was defaulting to a 1 to 1 bi directional relationship (it was one to one) ,
    as soon as I changed this to a 1 to many in one direction, Calendar to fact, the everything started working properly.

    AT LAST.
