Cumulative Count by Date

I have looked at 47 different formula posted here and cannot figure this out.

 

I have a Sharepoint list that tracks workflow items and I am trying to create a Cumulative Monthly count by the Created Date.

 

Requests Created Cumulative = 
CALCULATE(
            COUNT('Production Approval Workflow'[RowNumber]),
            FILTER(
                        'Production Approval Workflow',
                        ('Production Approval Workflow'[Created].[MonthNo] <= MAX ('CalendarTable'[Date]) ) 
                  )
)

This code above will return the correct cumulative total for all time. What do I need to add to get this measure to display a monthly cumulative total for each month?

@comish4lif,

 

You may refer to measure below.

Measure =
CALCULATE (
    COUNT ( 'Production Approval Workflow'[RowNumber] ),
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Production Approval Workflow' ),
        'Production Approval Workflow'[Created] <= MAX ( 'CalendarTable'[Date] )
    )
)

In regard to the topic above. I used the solution to get a measure for the count in every category, but I get no values for dates when their is no "activity" on a category. It wil only cumulatively count the rows when there is a value in that year. Example 2018 "109", 2019 "" and 2020 "121". Does anybody know how to solve this issue?

Hi @comish4lif

 

Could you maybe show an example of what you mean?

 The picture above is how I want the calculation to show a monthly total.

Below is how it is not displaying the monthly total, and is only showing the complete total.
