@Tripb44 are you adding a column or a measure? It will not work if you are adding a measure.

Hi,

I do not know what you are trying to do, but this calculated column formula in the B2_new table should help

=calculate(sum(B2_new[Amount]),filter(B2_New,B2_New[Ordernum]=earlier(B2_New[Ordernum])&&B2_New[index]<=earlier(B2_New[index])))
