    Try the formula below:

     

    Running Total Column=  
    CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Sheet1[TotalDay] ),
    FILTER (Sheet1,Sheet1[WeekName] <= EARLIER(Sheet1[WeekName])
    )
    )

     

     Best regards,

    Any chance you can post some sample data like you posted your expected results (not a screen shot because I can't copy the data) and the formula(s) you are using?
