Visual Calculations
Create calculations scoped to a visual, using the visual structure itself.
Revenue by week
Visual calculation: running total added inside the visual, no model change
Visual calculations (RUNNINGSUM, MOVINGAVERAGE, % of parent) live on the visual and are simpler than model DAX.
Simulated behaviour on the shared fictional retail dataset. Native mechanism: Yes.
Best for
Running sums, moving calculations or visual-specific transformations where appropriate.
Avoid when
Replacing reusable semantic-model measures that multiple visuals need.
Typical data
Relevant recovered tags: visual calculations, running total, calculation
Usage
Running sums, moving calculations or visual-specific transformations where appropriate.
Power BI limitation
Generally available as of May 2026. Logic is stored on the visual and can only reference data available in that visual; do not use it to replace reusable semantic-model business measures.
