Running/Cumulative total is wrong, showing the base values

[crln-blue]

Hello! I'm a bit new to PowerBI and I know this gets asked a lot but I have a problem with my running/cumulative total. I've been trying to solve this for more than a week now but I still can't solve it.

I have a report with different measures in a hierarchy with date value and I'm computing my running total. But my running total is returning the base value which is not the right value.

Below is my running total measure:

SUMX(FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Cashflow A'[Date].[Month]),'Cashflow A'[Date].[Month] <= MAX('Cashflow A'[Date].[Month])),[Total Category AB])

My base value is [Total Category AB].

Below is the my visual:

I prepared a pbix file and replicated my calculations in order to share with you the issue.

Thank you very much in advance!

@crln-blue , Try like

SUMX(FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Cashflow A'[Date]),'Cashflow A'[Date] <= MAX('Cashflow A'[Date])),[Total Category AB])

or

SUMX(FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Cashflow A'),'Cashflow A'[Date] <= MAX('Cashflow A'[Date])),[Total Category AB])

I already tried this but it's still not working. The first formula you suggested gives off a large result and on the second formula, it's still the base value.

@crln-blue , I have done few changes. Added date table, modified formula for Total Category A , Total Category B, Create a measure(Cumulative)  etc.

Please check the file attached after signature.

Hello @amitchandak! Thanks for checking my powerbi file. I also checked the adjustments you did and I'm a bit confused why there is a separate table of dates. I think because of this, my other categories are not computed properly even though I already changed its logic. Also, I think the running total is not working because there is no value when used in the hierarchy. 

I checked the value (in a different way) of the running total and found out that it's still not working. Running total kept on getting the base value.
