Running total in Pivot table (Monthwise incrementation by distinct count)
Dear Experts,
I need help regarding running total in pivot.
Please find the attachement and it is better explained there.
thank you in advance for your quick response.
Ubaid ur Rahman , that's not the same as in your table. If you have distinct count for the one month and another one, total distinct count won't be a sum since some suppliers are repeated in full period. Thus total for two months shall be less than sum of distinct count for each of two months. With that logic that is like
DistinctCountSuppliersTotal:=CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT([Supplier No.]), FILTER ( ALL ( Table1 ), Table1[Purchase date] <= MAX (Table1[Purchase date] ) ) )If distinct count only for the year
DistinctCountSuppliers:=CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT([Supplier No.]), FILTER ( ALLEXCEPT ( Table1,Table1[Year] ), Table1[Month] <= MAX (Table1[Month] ) ) )I added both, please check in the file.
Or you assume another logic?

SergeiBaklan Thank you for your quick response.
Yes that is correct but now the problem is when I apply it to my original file it is somehow not working.
For confidential reason I did extract some elements which I uploaded.
See in the picture.Ubaid ur Rahman , perhaps I misunderstood you. "Not working" means wrong formula syntax, or wrong result calculated by that formula?
