    Cumulative Total Column = 

      VAR __Day = 'Table'[Day]

    RETURN

      SUMX(FILTER('Table',[Day] <= __Day),[Payment])

     

    Cumulative Total Measure = 

      VAR __Day = MAX('Table'[Day])

      SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Day] <= __Day),[Payment])

Update: Your solution works. I tested it on a smaller dataset. But, since it takes too long to load on my dataset, I have made an adjustment to my [Day] column. It is now a text field with less values. Can you modify your solution to work with a text field column please? Thank you in advance for all your help.

 

Desired Result:

    Day                      Payment               Cumulative

a. <=10                        50                            50

b. 11-20                       30                            80

c. 21-30                       10                             90

d. 31-40                       40                           130
