Hello @MBK-TechnicalServices ,

 

Running totals in pivot tables are easily created by selecting "Show values as" > "Running totals", as described in this tutorial https://contexturesblog.com/archives/2010/03/03/running-totals-are-easy-with-excel-pivot-tables/

 

In summary: right-click a value in the column and select "Value field settings".  Click the tab "Show Values As" and select "Running Total in", then select the time value field that you are grouping the data by.

 

This works for regular pivot tables as well as pivot tables from the Power Pivot Data Model with DAX measures.
