Calculate consecutive backlogs over a specific threshold value.

I have a sample data table with given Columns A, B and E. Need to calculate Columns C and D as outputs in Power BI and use Col D in Histogram. Giving a Cyclic reference error as it needs to calculate using a previous value from same column. I have tried using Lookupvalue but still giving cyclic error. Thanks for your kind help -

@Anonymous  you can write a measure like this

Measure =
CALCULATE (
    [dropPlusRollOver],
    OFFSET ( -1, DISTINCT ( ALL ( 'fact' ) ), ORDERBY ( 'fact'[Date], ASC ) )
)
    + MAX ( 'fact'[Drop] )

Thanks for the response but Column C and Column D have to be output using Column A and Column B and a capacity parameter. i think you used them as input for measures. 

Also i need to sho highlighted Column D in a histogram visual.

@Anonymous  this is a good place to start

@Anonymous  provide a sample data that here that can be copied over to PBI. Power BI at current capacity is unable to extract data from a pic.
