Hello,

I am trying to create a column in PowerBI that takes the cumulative sum of a table column of numbers, *but*, if in any row the value of that sum is exceeded by a number in a secondary column, the cumulation is replaced with that secondary number. The cumulative sum would then carry on for following rows. Basically, I am trying to recreate the Excel logic shown below in Power Query or a DAX calculated column.

Given that you cannot seem to self-reference columns in PQ or DAX, this seems challenging to replicate. Am I missing a function (I'm relatively new to PQ and DAX)? Are there any common workarounds for this?
Thanks,

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Power Query:
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table2"]}[Content],
    lst = List.Skip(List.Accumulate(Table.ToRows(Source), {0}, (s,c)=> let lls = List.Last(s) in if c{1} > lls + c{0} then s & {c{1}} else s & {lls+c{0}}),1),
    tbl = Table.FromColumns(Table.ToColumns(Source) & {lst}, Table.ColumnNames(Source) & {"accum duration"})
in
    tbl
