Great video - simple examples no mucking about. The Calendar table tip was the part missing from every other example of this

[@mikedbman]

Very helpful. This solved a coworker's problem for me.

[@EssentialExcel]

Thanks Mike! Glad it helped 🙂

[@InonoYazy]

Great video. Thank you. Very clear. Is there a possibility to do subtraction by date, like showing how we loosing money per date with similar function?

[@annab2935]

Thanks for the video - I don't know what I am doing wrong. I seem to get the grand total showing up as the same for every month rather than it increasing cumulatively. Any idea why that could be? I have my calendar table and it has a relationship with all my data tables. Thank you

[@ifshindad4718]

What field are u using for ur x-axis?

[@samcrowson167]

How would you create this if you wanted say just previous 14 days rolling? so day 1 effectively the base number 0, cumulative just those 14 days? I've tried a few ways including creating a seperate 14 day calendar, but still gives me the overall run rate and not just the selected 14 days. Any help on that would be great. Great video aswell

[@GAabeee95]

I need to do the exact same thing but with amount of projects per fiscal year instead of $ per date... How would I do that??? Thank you!

[@allu_bechne_wala_rohit]

Thanks

[@user-em2oh4rq1d]

Hi! can you please explain how to add a second cumulative measure for STLY?

[@jefersonlopes2677]

THANKS GOD

[@KarThik-tb1pl]

Hi the measure works for me but if I add another field for filter lets say Country then the cumulative sum stops working and it just sums up the date where there is data

[@peppnose46]

Fucking hell what a video. U're the man brother

[@2000wangun]

Thanks to you, but could you please give us sample how to reverse from cumulative become monthly/daily. I hope you don't mind to help, thank you very much

[@EssentialExcel]

Hello 👋 Happy to help however not sure I understand your question… as you would need monthly/daily to create you cumulative?

[@2000wangun]

i have sales data in cumulative per month : Jan 100, Feb 200 (100+100), March 300 (100+100+100), Apr 400 (100+100+100+100).
I want to change these data become monthly sales : jan 100 (100), Feb 100 (200-100), March 100 (300-200), April 100 (400-100).
Could you please tell me how to do it ? Thank you@@EssentialExcel

[@ammarhaider223]

the line is coming straight however I followed each step🙄

[@DSMartin331]

Having the same issue, did you find a resulution?

[@linli823]

Have the same problem. Cannot figure out what was wrong

[@sino1panter]

Had the same problem. When I had the straight line I first deleted the date from the X-axis. Then I added the date to the X-axis again. That solved it for me. Hope this helps anyone who is struggling with the same issue.
