Running total in Pivot table (Monthwise incrementation by distinct count)
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?
SergeiBaklan I mean wrong calculations. What I see is it is not counting the distinct numbers.
Ubaid ur Rahman , I'll check distinct count calculations by another way. But let agree first - you'd like running distinct count over periods (e.g. in March 2019 we have total distinct count from Jan 2018 to Feb 2019 includes), or we start running total for each new year from scratch; or we sum distinct counts for each month ignoring what some could be repeated in full period.
SergeiBaklan Yes I want running distinct count over period. as you mentioned in exp. like in March 2019 we should have a sum of distinct count from Jan and Feb and so on at the end.
(At the end grand total should also sum distinct count for the whole year if possible)
