    Anonymous Likely need an ALL in your formula somewhere to override filter context but not enough to go on to be certain. Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
    Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

    Also, please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

    The most important parts are:
    1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
    2. Expected output from sample data
    3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.

    Create a Calculate Column with:

    Cumulative stocks = Calculate(sum([Balance]), Filter(Table,[Posting Date]<=earlier([Posting Date])))
