Running Totals on a row count
I am trying to create a calculated measure using DAX that will do a running total on a row count for a field that contains descriptions. Each descripton would be a row count. For instance we have a field called color and there are 5 colors. I want a running total on how many rows are what colors. Also I need to keep all the current filters in place so if the filters change, my running total will reflect that.
Try Quick measure. There is an option for running a total. Right-click on a table or field you get popup menu. There choose new quick measure

You could refer to this document:

For your case, you may need to use ALLSELECTED Function instead of ALL Function in the formula.

No it doesn't really help. I am trying to do a cumulative on a description field where I row count. For example: I have 500 employees. Of those 500 employees, 100 have been Terminated. I am trying to count the rows where there is a reason code and I want it to look like this... But I don't want my line to follow but be a cumulative line upward.
