    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    You can try the following methods.

    1. Based on the original table, output a new table, as shown in the figure.

        

    Table 2 =
SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[Date], 'Table'[Colour] )

     

        2. Create a calculation column to calculate the total number of colors per month.

    Count =
CALCULATE (
    COUNT ( 'Table'[Colour] ),
    FILTER (
        'Table',
        'Table'[Colour] = EARLIER ( 'Table 2'[Colour] )
            && 'Table'[Date] = EARLIER ( 'Table 2'[Date] )
    )
)

     

       3.  I wonder if this is the visual effect you want.

Hi Anonymous 

 

You will need to ensure you have a valid Date in the Date column.  From there, you can use a simple SUM measure to calculate the total count.  You can add this to the Values in your respective chart, add Colors to the legend, and the Date as the X Axis.  So, ideally, you can perform the following steps:

 

1. New Measure = SUM ( 'TableName'[Count] )

2. Add Line or Bar Chart (or other chart you want) to the canvas.

3. Add fields to your visual similar to the below:

This should help get you where you need 🙂

 

Hope this helps.
