Tableau's Running Total But In Power BI

Hi, 

I followed this video to create a cumulative % in Power BI. The videos works correctly for my data because I have similar dataset to the one in the video. I have a categorical column (similar to states in the video), and a numerical column (similar to total revenue in the video). So the video works almost perfectly for my case. However, i'm facing a problem whereby this formula works when I only have different values as my 'total revenue'. Now, i have two 'states' which have the same 'total revenue'. This caused my pareto or cumulative % line to be flat (horizontal) on those two 'states' before curving upwards again.

 

Does this make sense? To my understanding, the line should curve upwards anyway. What I notice is that the cumulative quantity adds the same values of the two 'states' together, but why? How do I make it not add two same values?
