Hi, @Jason2500
I am not quite sure how the outcome looks like.
I tried to create a sample pbix file by myself, and please check whether it is what you are looking for.
All measures are in the sample pbix file. (Link down below).
Or, please draw visualizations of your desired outcome. It will be much more helpful for me to come closer.

Hi,
Ensure you have a Calendar Table with calculated column formulas for Year and Month Name and Month Number. Sort the Month name by the month number. Build a relationship from the Hire Date column to the Date column of the Calendar Table. Build 2 slicers for Year and Month from the Calendar Table. Select any one Year and Month. Write these measures:
HC = COUNTROWS(Headcount)
Cumulative HC = CALCULATE([TotalHC],datesytd(Calendar[Date],"31/12"))
Hope this helps.
