    Fraze  can you try this

    Column = SUMX (
    FILTER (
        'Table',
        'Table'[Date] <= EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] )
            && 'Table'[Customer] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Customer] )
    ),
    'Table'[Net Change]
)

AlexisOlson  on the above, I have noticed that. if the TransactionID is text, the running total goes sideways, if my partition is on ID

 

 

However, it behaves properly I change that back to integer.

 

 

I thought DAx stores the text values as per the CHAR value

    I'm not sure what you mean by "stores the text values as per the CHAR value" but the problem is that "1", "10", and "3" are all <= "3" sorted alphabetically.
