Cumulative Count by Date

Hi,

For simplification purposes, I have a table with 2 columns.

Ref (Text) and Date Built (DD/MM/YYYY). 

Ref is an order reference, non unique. I don't care what value Ref has just how many orders (rows) in a particular Month.

I ultimately want to be able to draw a line graph showing cumulative total number of Refs by Month.

I'm very new to  Power BI and reporting so appologies in advance. Any help greatly appreciated.

Pete

    peterd add new measure as below

     

    cumulative total = 
caculate( countrows( table ), filter( all( table ), table[date] <= max( table[date] ) ) )

    In expression, change table and column name as per your data model.
