Syntax update for CUMSUM (Variable) function
We have updated the syntax for cumulative calculations on variables to make it simpler and more consistent.
What’s new?
We have replaced the CUMSUM (Variable, criteria*) function with a new, simplified syntax using time modifiers. No action is required — all existing formulas have been automatically migrated to the new syntax.
Why this change?
This update simplifies expressions, improves readability, and aligns cumulative functions with other time-based modifiers.
New syntax
Use the following modifiers to calculate cumulative values:
Quarter-to-date (QTD)
- Before:
CUMSUM (Variable, quarterly) - Now:
Variable.QTD
Year-to-date (YTD)
- Before:
CUMSUM (Variable, yearly) - Now:
Variable.YTD
All-time cumulative
- Before:
CUMSUM (Variable) - Now:
Variable.AllTime
