Running Total

I am trying to calculate the running total, but it is not working as I want. If you look at the pictures below, it works if I don't apply any filter, but if for instance I want to see the data for 2018, I would expect to see under running total in february 2018 the number 3 and in correspondence of march 2018 the number 4...the sum of february and march...but I see always the number 8 and 9...what is wrong? the formula I used is:

Running total =
CALCULATE (
SUM('Sheet1 (2)'[Count]);
FILTER(
ALL('Sheet1 (2)' );
'Sheet1 (2)'[IntrDate] <= MAX('Sheet1 (2)'[IntrDate])
)
)

@klod78 , Try like

Running total =
CALCULATE (
SUM('Sheet1 (2)'[Count]);
FILTER(
ALLselected('Sheet1 (2)' );
'Sheet1 (2)'[IntrDate] <= MAX('Sheet1 (2)'[IntrDate])
)
)

Here is a running total pattern:

 

Running Total = 
VAR MaxDateInFilterContext =
    MAX ( Dates[Date] )
VAR MaxYear =
    YEAR ( MaxDateInFilterContext )
VAR DatesLessThanMaxDate =
    FILTER (
        ALL ( Dates ),
        Dates[Date] <= MaxDateInFilterContext
            && Dates[Calendar Year Number] = MaxYear
    )
VAR Result =
    CALCULATE (
        [Total Sales],
        DatesLessThanMaxDate
    )
RETURN
    Result

My guess would be to use ALLSELECTED, instead of ALL https://docs.microsoft.com/nl-nl/dax/allselected-function-dax
