Calculated Column - Cumulative sum

I've searched the forum, but the main advice is to create a measure.
I need to create a calculated column, which will sum the cumulative value during the year, for each service in each company.

 

DateValueCompanyServiceCumulative value
Jan-2112413ax12413
Feb-21235ax12648
Mar-21235235ax247883
Jan-2113536bx13536
Feb-214575bx18111
Mar-2134533bx52644

 


I tried to make it this way:
CALCULATE(SUMX(Sheet1,Sheet1[Value]),FILTER(Sheet1,Sheet1[Date]<=MAX(Sheet1[Date])

Unfortunately this is not the good direction.

Hi @pietra ,

 

Please try this code to create a calcualted column.

Cumulative value = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Sheet1'[Value] ),
    FILTER (
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'Sheet1', 'Sheet1'[Company] ),
        'Sheet1'[Date] <= EARLIER ( 'Sheet1'[Date] )
    )
)

My Sample:

I tried using your code in a similar problem I have.. However, it doesn't accept the last part:

EARLIER ( 'Sheet1'[Date] )

 it doesn't accept the column name it gives me an error and says "can't find name" even though I just refereenced the same column in the first part: 

'Sheet1'[Date] <= EARLIER ( 'Sheet1'[Date] )

 

any help on how to resolve it?

Thank you so much for the support, it worked.

why does it need to be a column and not a measure?  do you have a date table?
