DAX-formula counting clients

Hi, I want to be able to count the number of clients. However, if a new client becomes assigned to an already existing client group, that client should not be considered a new client. This is the case for clients 2 and 4 in the table below. Thus, in January one client was created; in February there were zero clients created; in June one client; and in October there were two new clients. Any suggestions for a DAX-formula?

 

Client group numberClient numberCreation date
112014-01-01
122014-02-01
332014-06-19
142014-06-23
552014-10-26

    Hi David_1970

     

    Try this solution

     

    Add a calculated column as follows

     

    Index =
IF (
    CALCULATE (
        COUNTROWS ( TableName ),
        FILTER (
            TableName,
            MONTH ( TableName[Creation date] )
                < MONTH ( EARLIER ( TableName[Creation date] ) )
                && TableName[Client group number] = EARLIER ( TableName[Client group number] )
        )
    )
        >= 1,
    BLANK (),
    1
)

     

     

    Now Sum of this Index will give you desired RESULTS

     

    Just Add Month and Sum of Index to a TABLE visual
