    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

Basically Do I need to do or get from the logic is something like this

 

Notice in the screeshot that I have 3 employees, every single employee has sales by month and the sum of sales is doing for every employee, no mixed up with a previous employee, that is the logic that I need in order to calculate the Sumed column

 

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Hi,

 

Please share a meaningful dataset.  While your column title is month, entries under that column are Sales 1, Sales 2.  I am sure there are months/dates in that column.  Please share a meaningful dataset with column names and data therein making sense so that i can frame a solution.
