The document describes how to create a cumulative sum from a calculation or table in three different ways depending on the type of model used:
1) For an imported model, add a calculation to the measure to add cross-time cumulative calculations like year-to-date, previous year, and year-over-year.
2) For a model using a date dimension as the time dimension, add a calculation to calculate cross-time accumulative sums.
3) The specific functions to use for adding cumulative calculations are described for year-to-date, previous year, and year-over-year.

2 Create a Cumulative Sum from a calculation or table
The most convenient way to add cross-time cumulative calculations is to use the “Add Calculation” function associated with the measure. However, depending on the type of model you use, there are some limitations.
1.2.1 Imported model: Add calculation⇒Restricted account, Difference from
you have an imported model you used a DATE type dimension as the time dimension to calculate the cross-time accumulative sum In this case, simply click the three dots of the account and use add a calculation to add YOY, YTD, and PY calculations.
