Using Measures as Axis in line chart

I would like to build a simple graph like the following (from Excel - X-axis shows running total quantity, and the Y-axis shows per ton margin.

):

 

 

Now, I managed to put this in PBI using the index column, and the best result I got is this:

 

As you may see, this scatter plot is not presentation-friendly. As the values I use are measures, I am not being able to get the same result from line graphs. I also could not manage to build a calculated column for running total quantity. The measure formula is as follows:

Q-ty(tn) running total in Index = 
CALCULATE(
	SUM('Result'[Aggr.Qty]);
	FILTER(
		ALLSELECTED('Result'[Index]);
		ISONORAFTER('Result'[Index]; MAX('Result'[Index]); DESC)
	)
)

 

Please, advise me on getting the desired output, which is a simple line with running total qty on X and per ton margin on Y.

    foyiq,

    Create a calculate column that represents running total using DAX below, then create line chart and check if you get expected result.


    Running Total COLUMN =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Result'[Aggr.Qty]);
        ALL ( 'Result' );
        'Result'[Index]<= EARLIER ('Result'[Index])
    )
