    You should be able to use the formula that Greg_Deckler provided and just change the SUM to a COUNT of [Planned] or [Actual].

     

     

    Cummulative Actual Line =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTA ( 'Table1'[Actual] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Table1' ),
        'Table1'[StartofMonth] <= MAX ( 'Table1'[StartofMonth] )
    )
)

    Cummulative Planned Line =
    CALCULATE (
        COUNTA ( 'Table1'[Planned] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Table1' ),
            'Table1'[StartofMonth] <= MAX ( 'Table1'[StartofMonth] )
        )
    )

     

    Here is what I generated with your example data set.

The general cumulative total pattern can be found here:

http://www.daxpatterns.com/cumulative-total/

 

Basically it is:

Cumulative Quantity :=
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Transactions[Quantity] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Date'[Date] ),
        'Date'[Date] <= MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
    )
)

I would have to see your specific data, or sample data and relationships to write a specific solution or your model.

Here a sample of the data&colon;

 

 

The report I showed an image of has bars that count the number of dates in the "Planned" and "Actual" columns and show them in bars to show the difference in the two counts. The "StartOfMonth" column is used to group the bars together by each month in the 'Shared Axis' field of the BI report. All columns are in one table.
