    Hi baadshah ,

     

    According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

    (1) My test data is the same as yours.

    (2) We can create a measure.

    Running Distinct Count = 
    VAR CurrentPeriod = MAX('Sample Data'[Period])
    RETURN
    CALCULATE(
        DISTINCTCOUNT('Sample Data'[Client Name]),
        FILTER(
            ALLSELECTED('Sample Data'),
            'Sample Data'[Period] <= CurrentPeriod
        )
    )

    (3) Then the result is as follows.

    Best Regards,
