Graphing date against frequency

Hi all,

Completely new to Power BI here! I have a table that contains a list of events, each with a date. I'd like to plot a (bar/line) graph with the dates along the x axis and the number of events on that date along the y axis. What's the easiest way to go about doing this?

For context, the data is a list of crimes (table name is Crimes, column name is Date). Then there's other columns like street name, crime type, etc.

Is it going to involve creating a second table by any chance? e.g. with two columns, Date and NumberOfCrimes. Is this correct or is there a better way? How might I create this table?

Thank you!
