Cumulative Sum When rows have the same value sql sql server

Question

I'd like to do cumulative sum of the column SubTotal to get a cumulative RunningTotal column. But I noticed that if rows have the same values, the cumulative sum doesn't work. eg In the below example, the row 5 and row 6 have the same SubTotal value of 838.9178. Because of that, the RunningTotal column doesn't sum up for row 5 and row 6.

How can i fix this issue? I expect to get the results like below:

Below please find my query. Many thanks in advance!

select YEAR(OrderDate) as FiscalYear,
       REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar(12), OrderDate,1), ' ', '-') as OrderDate,
       SubTotal,
       SUM (SubTotal) OVER (partition by YEAR(OrderDate) ORDER BY OrderDate,SubTotal ) AS RunningTotal
from Sales.SalesOrderHeader
where YEAR(OrderDate)=2012 or YEAR(OrderDate)=2013
order by YEAR(OrderDate),OrderDate;

Answer 1

You need a row windowing clause or a stable sort. Try this:

   SUM(SubTotal) OVER (partition by YEAR(OrderDate) ORDER BY OrderDate ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURENT ROW) AS RunningTotal

Or, if you have a unique id on the row:

   SUM(SubTotal) OVER (partition by YEAR(OrderDate) ORDER BY OrderDate, UniqueId) AS RunningTotal

The issue is that the default windowing clause uses RANGE BETWEEN , which is not what you want.
