    Hi Anonymous 
    The solution at this point is two columns.


    Let me know if you have any questions.

    If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.

    Cumulative = 
    
    var _curIndex =PA_KEY[Index]
    var _minIndex = CALCULATE(MIN(PA_KEY[Index]),ALLEXCEPT(PA_KEY,PA_KEY[PA#]),PA_KEY[Index]<_curIndex)
    
    return
    
    IF(_curIndex = _minIndex || _curIndex = _minIndex+1,BLANK(), CALCULATE(sum(PA_KEY[RequestedValue]),ALLEXCEPT(PA_KEY,PA_KEY[PA#]),PA_KEY[Index]=_curIndex -1))

     

    Cumulative and previous = 
    VAR _curIndex = PA_KEY[Index]   //Get current Index from this row
    VAR _minIndex = CALCULATE ( MIN ( PA_KEY[Index] ), ALLEXCEPT ( PA_KEY, PA_KEY[PA#] ), PA_KEY[Index] < _curIndex )    //Get minimum index for this PA#                                
                                  
    VAR _prev3 = CALCULATE ( SUM ( PA_KEY[Cumulative] ),  ALLEXCEPT ( PA_KEY, PA_KEY[PA#] ), PA_KEY[Index] = _curIndex - 1 )   // Get the previous row amount from the Cumulative column                                
    
    RETURN
        IF (                                        //Return a blank if the current index is equal to the first two rows of this PA# else do the calc and add the previous row from the Cumulative column
            _curIndex = _minIndex
                || _curIndex = _minIndex + 1,
            BLANK (),
            CALCULATE (
                SUM ( PA_KEY[RequestedValue] ),
                ALLEXCEPT (
                    PA_KEY,
                    PA_KEY[PA#]
                ),
                PA_KEY[Index] = _curIndex - 1
            ) + _prev3
        )

    Just this portion is the measure and it relies on the index column Nathaniel_C  added to your sample table.  

    Column = 
    VAR _MinIndex = CALCULATE ( MIN ( PA_KEY[Index] ), ALLEXCEPT ( PA_KEY, PA_KEY[PA#] ) )
    VAR _RowIndex = [Index]
    RETURN CALCULATE ( SUM ( PA_KEY[RequestedValue] ), ALLEXCEPT ( PA_KEY, PA_KEY[PA#] ), PA_KEY[Index] > _MinIndex && PA_KEY[Index] < _RowIndex )

     Are you able to add an index column to your source data that will properly order the lines?

    The problem with using the original table is you don't know what order the lines are going to come in unless you give it an order by.  You could add the index on the SQL side as well, something like this.

     

    SELECT
    	PA_Key,
    	Version,
    	[Invoice LINE],
    	CONTRACTLINEVALUE,
    	REQUESTEDVALUE,
    	PA#,
    	ROW_NUMBER() OVER( ORDER BY ( SELECT 0 ) ) AS RowIndex
    FROM Table
    ORDER BY
    	PA_Key,
    	Version,
    	[Invoice LINE]
