Hi Surendra,
According to your description, you want to calculate the sum up the measure from start for those non empty rows, right?
In this case, please try the query below.
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Sum from start]
AS
SUM ({NULL:[Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember},
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])
SELECT {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],[Measures].[Sum from start]} ON 0 ,
nonempty([Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year].MEMBERS) ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works]
Result
