Sort Order ignores measure??

I have a simple 'Sales' table below. I created a running total measure to compile the [Goal] amounts each week.

When I have the [Week of] sorted by default to [Week of] my measure works fine and the Goals are combined each week over week. When I sort [Week of] by [Order id] then the measure only sums each week individually in the measure. Any idea why this would be happening?

Goal Running Total = CALCULATE(
    sum(Sales[Goal]),
    FILTER(
        all(Sales[Week Of]),
        Sales[Week Of] <= MAX(Sales[Week Of])
    )
)

@DJSwezey , This will work well when you have separate week table with rank on year week column.

 

Have a separate date/week table joined back with your table

Have these new columns in Date Table, Week Rank is Important in Date/Week Table

Week Rank = RANKX('Date','Date'[Week Start date],,ASC,Dense)
OR
Week Rank = RANKX('Date','Date'[Year Week],,ASC,Dense) //YYYYWW format

 

 

cumm = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Week Rank]<=max('Date'[Week Rank])))

 

I think simple formula with date will also work

 

Cumm Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),filter(all('Date'),'Date'[date] <=max('Date'[date])))

 

or

 

Cumm Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),filter(allselected(date),date[date] <=max(date[Date])))

 

consider new window function with date or week

 

Cumm Based on Date = CALCULATE([Net], Window(1,ABS,0,REL, ALL('date'[date]),ORDERBY('Date'[date],ASC)))

Cumm Based on Date = CALCULATE([Net], Window(1,ABS,0,REL, ALLSELECTED('date'[date]),ORDERBY('Date'[date],ASC)))
