Total X months of Data >than X date, by Customer

Hi all…I've been using Alteryx 2019.3.5.17947 for about a week so I'm fairly new but have used other tools like Tableau.   I've been reading articles for several days trying to find an answer to my dilemma with no luck.  I also looked at several tools including the running total tool and the multi row tool but neither seems to be correct.
Here's my issue - We have a process that requires adding 6 months of order totals after the 'max date' for each customer.  The Data looks like the example below.  There are over 1K customers and 1 M rows.  I've provided an example of what the final output should be.  I think I can figure out how to summarize the results once I figure out how to sum six months of order totals after the max date.  Any help is appreciated.

How about filtering on Order Date >= Max Date and then summing grouped by customer?

Hi TonyA.  The customer can only receive credit for six months of orders after the max date.

Hello @afv2688 … thanks so much for responding.  I found another solution that worked so I haven't had a chance to try your recommendation as yet.  I've been curious about the multi-row formula tool so I'm going to try your recommendation later as well.
