    Cumulative is based on the sort order , You can sort on sales

    Cumm1 = CALCULATE(sum('product'[SALES]),FILTER(all('product'),'product'[SALES]>=MAX('product'[SALES])))

     

    Better you create a dense rank and use that. New column

    rank = ranks(all(Product),Product[sales],,asc,dense)

     

    Use rank in last formula

amitchandak I really appreciate your help but your measure works because A is the most sold product and F is the least sold product.

 

If you change the product names to other which do not meet the alphabet order, the formula does not work. For instance:

 

 

May you please try with these product names?

 

Thanks in advance

    amitchandak This is the measure I was looking for!

     

    Cumm1 = CALCULATE(sum('product'[SALES]),FILTER(all('product'),'product'[SALES]>=MAX('product'[SALES])))

     

    Thanks a million!
