Performance of cummulative measure

Hi!

I struggle with below measure performance. Could you please help me rewrite it, so it doesnt need that much memory?

Its finishes up with "Couldn't load the data for this visual. There is not enough memory to complete this operation. (...)"

Its working on 4.000.000 rows table 'Sales', pbix is 45mb and PowerBI Desktop is a 64bit version.

 

Sales_DayCummulative =
var LastSalesTime = CALCULATE( MAX( 'Sales'[Time]); All( 'Sales'))
return
IF(
SELECTEDVALUE( 'Sales'[Time]) > LastSalesTime;
BLANK();
CALCULATE(
SUM( 'Sales'[Value]);
FILTER( ALLSELECTED( 'Sales'); 'Sales'[Time] <= MAX ( 'Sales'[Time])
)))
