How to Sum Values based on (Value -1) from other column

Hello Community Members, 

I am struggeling with the following. I have a fairly simple table. No date dimensions unfortunately. 
The rows contain a period number. Which can be from 1 - 12. I need a measure where the amount is summed. 
It's conditional. Where period is 1 it should sum the amount where period is 1. If period is 2 it should Sum the amount of Period 2 - Period 1. If period is 3 it should Sum the amount of Period 3 - Sum of Period 2 etc. 

I tried a lot with selected value and MAX, but it gave me the true / false error, so obviously i am doing something wrong.

Can anybody help me out? 
See table below for reference.

Hi @JeroenHD,

Can you please share some more detail about these table structures and relationship mapping?

How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly  

You can extract the second table relationship key values based on the current selection, and use these extract values as conditions to filter on the first table.

formula =
VAR selected =
    CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( Table2[key] ), ALLSELECTED ( Table2 ) )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Table1[Amount] ),
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Table1 ), [key] IN selected )
    )
