Replicate Code

I am trying to replicate this code from a java program to DAX:

 

int a = 0;
int b = 0;
int c = 0;
for(int i =1; i<=5; i++){
b = 3*i;
c = b-a;
int r = b * (c+a)/2;
a += r;

}

 

I have tried looping through with GENERATESERIES as shown https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/For-and-While-Loops-in-DAX/ba-p/636314  but I can't figure it out

 

Thanks

@Beniovo I don't believe it is possible due to the recursive aspect of the "a" variable but I'll toy around with it if I can.
