Is there a way to create Running Total using Beast Mode?

lvtrujillot

Hi,

I'm building a table card and I would like to create a column that performs a cumulative sum, like the following:

| Week | Amount | Running Total

| 1 | 100 | 100 |

| 2 | 50 | 150 |

I tried to do this using SQL Dataflow, it works fine. However, I want to be able to add filters that modifies the Running Total and thus, the approach that I used with SQL doesn't help me much (since it performs the sum of the whole dataset row by row).

Any light on this would be much appreciated

Thanks

Hi @lvtrujillot

You can utilize window functions in beast modes to accomplish this. You'll need to talk with your CSM to get it turned on. I've done a previous write up of window functions and running totals before. You can read up on it here: https://dojo.domo.com/discussion/52681/domo-ideas-conference-beast-modes-running-totals#latest

@GrantSmith Thank you so much! It worked using SUM(SUM(..)) OVER (ORDER BY ..)
