    Hi @swagner 

     

    You can use a Rank & Window Tile. Using SUM on your number field with an unbounded for the first setting and 0 for the last setting. Order by your date field and now partitions will get you a rolling sum / running total.

    @swagner  in SQL parlance that's called a cumulative sum.

     

    Which I mention because eventually you'll want to use a PARTITON BY which will reset your counter based on an Item, Customer or Year.
