Firstly, make sure that your year month column is actually a date, you can control the visual output by using the format string. You can then add the first column like

Column 1 =
DATEDIFF ( TODAY (), 'Table'[Year month], MONTH )

and you can use the static segmentation pattern to calculate column 2.
