I was able to create the cumulative (or running total) without 'calculate' but I still have the same issues when it comes to viewing/filtering to specific time periods- my measure changes its cumulative total depending on the dates I have selected. The measure I used is below:

VAR _Date = MAX(MRC_DailyProdDisp[Date])
VAR _Table = FILTER(ALLSELECTED('MRC_DailyProdDisp'),[Date] <= _Date)
RETURN
SUMX(_Table,[GrossWaterProd])
