DAX summarizing values with sum of previous months

Hey!

I'm looking for a DAX that could show values by month but each month has to be a sum of previous month and filtered month:

MonthValuesSum
111
211+1
311+1+1

 

So, instead of 3 as a total, it should show 6 as a total.

Hello @Monika_85,

 

Can you please try this: 

Running Total = 
VAR CurrentMonth = MAX('Table'[Month])
VAR FilteredTable = FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Month] <= CurrentMonth)
RETURN SUMX(FilteredTable, 'Table'[Values])

 

Let me know if you might require further assistance.

Hey @Sahir_Maharaj 

Thanks for helping me. Unfortunately, this DAX doesn't help me as I wish. Using it, I receive sum by month and I'd like to have sthg like that:

January = sum of January values

February = sum of January + February values

March = sum of January + February + March values

etc.
