Cumulative sum of another measure without tables

Hello,

 

I need to create measure to calculate the cumulative sum of another measure without using tables. I have the below matrix with both Order Lines and Percentage of the total being measures.
I am trying to create a new measure called "Cumulative percentage " that shall add the percentages of the total in each row.

You cannot measure a measure directly. Either materialize it first, or create a separate measure that implements the entire business logic.
