Creating new column with merged values

Hello dear community, 

I have a table of data with columns like Month, Sales, Team, etc..

What I need is to create a column, which will show:

For Month 01.2019  - Sum of Sales for monthNumber 1

For Month 02.2019 - Sum of Sales for monthNumber 1+2

For Month 03.2019 - Sum of Sales for monthNumber 1+2+3

and so on. 

I tried to create a new column using peek function, but it gave me strange figures.

This is a more complicated continuation of this question.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Sample data below.

hi, try to use flags
Example,
the January data is 1, february data is 2...
then in the expression we can use an if and analysis set.
If Month = January
sum({<Flag = {1}>}total)
if month = february
sum({<Flag={"<=2"}>}total)

Hi Felipessj,

I dont think set analysis will work for me, as these figures are ten shown on a bar chart and sorted by month

Channa,

I have a feeling the script is adding values for different teams, which gives strange results
