Cumulative Calculated Columns

Summary

  • Cumulative Calculated Columns perform cumulative aggregations
  • The aggregation operation is applied to each row cumulatively in a specific, given order

Calculated Columns are able to display Cumulative Expressions.

These are an advanced form of Aggregation Expression.

They are similar in that the values derive from multiple rows but with one fundamental difference: they perform that perform cumulative aggregations.

This means that the aggregation operation (e.g., SUM, MIN, MAX) is applied to each row cumulatively in a specific, given order.

Hint

This is particularly useful, for example, when we want to calculate a Running Total of a column
