Dynamic Running Total Measure (Changes with Slicer)

New to Power Bi

 

I would like to create a dynamic running total measure based on this table. Ideally I could then use this measure to custom format my table and create a dynamic waterline. 

 

Here is my data set and my first attempt (which does not work dynamically)

Running Total Measure = CALCULATE(
SUM(
'Table'[Table Value Number]
),
FILTER(
ALL(
'Table'[Ranking]
),
'Table'[Ranking]<=MAX('Table'[Ranking])
)
)

Hi @TravisD ,

 

Please try this measure.

Running Total Measure = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[Table Value Number] ),
    FILTER (
        'Table',
        'Table'[Ranking] <= MAX ( 'Table'[Ranking] )
    ),
    ALLSELECTED()
)

If this doesn't work for you, please consider providing a sample file.

Please provide sanitized sample data that fully covers your issue. If you paste the data into a table in your post or use one of the file services it will be easier to assist you. I cannot use screenshots of your source data.

Please show the expected outcome based on the sample data you provided. Screenshots of the expected outcome are ok.
