Balance value calculation
Hi JimB-GA,
Based on my test, you could refer to below steps:
Sample data:
Create two calculated columns:
a = IF([Type]="Debit",-[Amount],[Amount])
Total running = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[a]),FILTER('Table1','Table1'[Transaction]<=EARLIER(Table1[Transaction])))
And you could see the result:
You can also download the PBIX file to have a view.

What are your expected results
Try this calculated column
Running Total =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Table1[Amount] ),
FILTER ( Table1, [Date] <= EARLIER ( [Date] ) && [Type] = EARLIER ( [Type] ) )
)Thank you Zabair.
The actual table name is 'Claire' and the type field is 'Transaction Type'.
I tried the following formula and received the error 'DAX comparison operations do not support comparing values of type Date with values of type Text. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values.'
Running Total =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Claire[Amount] ),
FILTER ( Claire, [Date] <= EARLIER ( [Date] ) & [Transaction Type] = EARLIER ( [Transaction Type] ) )
)I notified that I only used one ampersand where you formula used two. Inserting a second & into the formula gave me a value.
I must confess that I was not clear with the calculation I want to perform. Debits need to be subtracted from Credits for the balance column to work. Do I need to create a calculated column for the amount changing the sign on debits?
Thanks again for you help.

What is the end result you desire? Could you show it in the sample table
