How to achieve running total with power query?

Question

I want to do a running total with power query like I did with Tableau software before. Does anyone have ideas, thanks in advance!

I think if it is possible in Power Query it would be very complicated. It's just the wrong tool. Use Power Query to bring the data into Power Pivot and create the running total there instead. It is a standard pattern. See this excellent guide: http://www.daxpatterns.com/cumulative-total/
