Easily the best explanation of EARLIER I have seen. Period.

[pravinshingadia]

These function videos are the absolute best my friend. Learned more in a couple of hours from you then weeks trying to read and understand from a book

[sankalpparmar]

This is just amazing. I was scratching my head for past 1 week to understand this nested row context process. Thanks a lot.

[misiael]

This is a great explanation, helps to actually understand what is happening and how to perceive both contexts. I had a really hard time to do that with other videos.

[ravichandirana]

One of the best videos I have seen that clearly explained the Earlier function

[Rafian]

Wow, I was struggling to understand the concept behind this, but your video was the most effective for me. Thank you so much for this detailed explanation.

[christyokane]

Trying to figure out a problem for so so long and this video finally got me there! Thank you so much, it was a massive help :)

This is a really good introduction to Earlier, also had a few spin offs, I first tried using a variable instead of Earlier, not as straight forward as I'd have thought, and then doing it in excel cross tab which I never quite got to work, had all the percentages, but getting the correct budget into each cell proved tricky.

Hello,

I appreciate the quality of your videos and commend you for the clarity of your explanations. I'm wondering if it's possible to apply the "Earlier" function in a DAX measure for calculating the cumulative total of revenue by product category, for instance.

Based on the example you provided using the "COUNTROWS" function, I couldn't figure out how to adapt it with the "SUMX" function to achieve cumulative total through a measure instead of a column. Thank you in advance for your response.
