Running total in Power Query

Hello,
I wanted to create a Running Total column in Power Query.
I have an Invoice Table which looks like below:
Account IDInvoice Date Invoice PriceRunning Total
110/13/20165050
112/10/2017279329
12/23/201813801709
24/15/2018325325
23/4/20197871112
36/19/201822
49/10/201723562356
47/30/2018352391
49/9/20182542645
45/7/20197563401
53/12/20173737
58/26/2018876913

My SQL code for that is:
SELECT SUM(InvoicePrice) OVER (Partition by AccountID Order by InvoiceDate) as RunningTotal
FROM Invoices
 
Note: 1 account can have many invoices so I partitioned by account ID as I want to see running total for each account.
