    I think this calculated column would work.

    See the attached sample file as well

     

    Calculated Column =
VAR PreviousRow =
    TOPN (
        1,
        FILTER (
            Table1,
            Table1[Month] < EARLIER ( Table1[Month] )
                && Table1[Employee] = EARLIER ( Table1[Employee] )
        ),
        [Month], DESC
    )
VAR PreviousValue =
    MINX ( PreviousRow, [Sales] )
RETURN
    Table1[Sales] + PreviousValue

Hello Zubair_Muhammad,

I was trying to do something similar but I have a large dataset (~2M rows) and PBI desktop is unable to process it. It gives me this error. I think it has something to do with 2 earlier statements.

Is there any other way we could do this?
