Cumulative Total

I am trying to create a Pareto Chart using Dax Formulas for the set of 5 metrics in a column (Error Column below)...I have created the following Dax Measures:

Error Volume = Data from the data source table
Running Total = 

VAR CurrentCount = [Error Volume]
RETURN
    CALCULATE([Error Volume],
    FILTER(
        ALL('Follow-Up Team'[Errors]),
        [Error Volume]>= CurrentCount
    ))
Chart % =
VAR ErrorCount = [Error Volume]
VAR AllErrors = CALCULATE([Error Volume],ALLSELECTED('Follow-Up Team'))
RETURN
DIVIDE(
SUMX(
    FILTER(
        SUMMARIZE(ALLSELECTED('Follow-Up Team'),'Follow-Up Team'[Errors],
            "Volume",'Follow-Up Team'[Error Volume]),
                [Volume] >= ErrorCount),
                    [Volume]),
    AllErrors,0)    

 

Below is the cooresponding table for a given filtered time period.

 

Errors          Error Volume          Running Total          Chart %

 #1                        9                              9                      26%

 #2                        8                             25                     71%
 #
3                        8                             25                     71%

 #4                        6                             31                     89%

 #5                        4                             35                    100%

 

I need the Running Total for Error #2 = 17 (9+8) and Chart % for Error #2 = 49%.

Running Total =
VAR CurrentError = MAX('Follow-Up Team'[Errors])
RETURN
CALCULATE(
SUM('Follow-Up Team'[Error Volume]),
FILTER(
ALL('Follow-Up Team'[Errors]),
'Follow-Up Team'[Errors] <= CurrentError
)
)

When using this formula, I am still running into the same problem.  When the errors are sorted alphabetically it is working as expected.  However, I am not sorting alphabetically - I am sorting by error volume (see the following):

 

This is what I am looking for:

Error                                     E.V.      R.T.     Chart %

Appropriate Notes112268.75%
Appropriate Escalation42681.25%
Appropriate Activity Code32990.63%
Resolution332100.00%

 

Here is the resulting table I get when sorting the Errors by Error Volume using your given formula:

Hi @mol_ad ,

 

May I ask what scenario you are testing? I used the solution provided by @Jihwan_Kim  and everything shows up fine.

I believe I have found the reason I was getting the error.  I only provided information that I was using after a filter and not the entire data source table.  Since this is first time I am posting, I have not yet figured out how to attach a file, so I will provide a sample of the excel file data source.

*Note: I have provided 2 Users for a 3-Month sample, but I have a total 28 Users with more to be added in the future*

This chart shows what I expect the table and therefore Pareto Chart to look like.

Hi @mol_ad ,

 

You can try formula like below:

Running Total = 
VAR CurrentError =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'YourTableName'[Errors] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM(YourTableName[Error Volume]),
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( 'YourTableName'[Errors] ),
            'YourTableName'[Errors] <= CurrentError
        )
    )
ratio: =
DIVIDE (
    [Running total],
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'YourTableName'[Error Volume] ), ALL ( 'YourTableName' ) )
)

Thank you! However, I am attempting to create a Pareto Chart with the data and therefore will be sorting the Errors based on Error Volume from largest to smallest and not alphabetically.

Below is what I am looking to accomplish.

Error                                     E.V.      R.T.     Chart %

Appropriate Notes112268.75%
Appropriate Escalation42681.25%
Appropriate Activity Code32990.63%

Here is the resulting table I get when sorting the Errors by Error Volume:
