    Hi Danielwood ,

    It appears that you are trying to count the rows where the dd/mm/yy is July month.  In that case, there are multiple ways to achive your required output.  One of them is to use calculated column like below to identify the rows to be counted.  

    Contains /07/ =
IF ( CONTAINSSTRING ( 'YourTable'[Column], "/07/" ), "Contains /07/", BLANK () )

     Best regards,
