Running Total Calculation without date

I would like to add running totals to each campaign column so that instead of Campaign Day 6 have $26K, it will show $97K because it will add the Day 6 and Day 5 total together. I've seen some solutions for matrices with dates, but this has Campaign Days in the row. The value is sales and Campaign Name is the column value. Please see my table below. Any assistance would be appreciated!

Hi @philbert119 ,

 

Try this calculated column

Running Total COLUMN = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[Column2] ),
    ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Column0]),
    'Table'[Column1] <= EARLIER ( 'Table'[Column1]
))

I created the variable but i received an error message for the campaign days column, which is a whole number. It said "A single value for column 'Campaign Days' in table cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifiying an aggregation such as min, max, count or sum to get a single result. I tried to change to text but received the same error.

How would you like me to share the data? As to your ALLEXCEPT() suggestion, how would you suggest using it? Running Total = Sales, ALLEXCEPT(CampaignDay > Current Campaign Day). I'm not sure how to best write the DAX on that.

This should be doable using ALLEXCEPT(). Please provide sample data in usable format (not as a picture).
