Calculating Cumulative based on Category

I want to Calculate Cumulative for the following data set:

I created following 2 measures:

TotalErrorCount = COUNT(vw_CodeChapters[ErrorDetailID])
Cumulative = 
VAR ThisChapterCount= [TotalErrorCount]
VAR TotalErrorAllChapters = CALCULATE([TotalErrorCount],ALL(vw_CodeChapters[chapters]))
RETURN
CALCULATE(
[TotalErrorCount]
,FILTER(ALL(vw_CodeChapters[chapters]),[TotalErrorCount]>=ThisChapterCount)
)
 
But, I am getting this as output:

Can you suggest any other measure ?

Cumulatives only work for dates.
