Cumulative Running Total Based on Highest Value
I’ve helped a couple of people out on various forums on this topic over the last week, and that is normally a good sign that I need a blog post on the topic. The scenario is to create a Pareto cumulative running total based on the top products, customers or whatever. This is a bit tricker than a simple YTD running total, as the “order” of the best to worst products (or customers or whatever) is not materialised in a table, and nor is total sales. This means all the calculations need to be done on the fly and that can make it tricky.
