Stacked column chart, cumulative over time

Hello team,

I am new to Power BI and struggling to create the chart I need. My data has the follwing columns:

PersonID = a unique reference number for each customer

PCat = the category of customer (approx 12 different options)

DateOfReg = the start date of our relationship with the customer

WithdrawlDate = the date we exited the customer relationship

I need to create a stacked coumn chart showing the total number of active customers, per category, as-at the end of each calendar year (i.e. 31 December each year is greater than the DateOfReg and also less than the WithdrawlDate).

 

I have previously created this chart in Excel with 'if' and 'and' statement counts, but I'm completely lost making this work in Power BI.

 

Thanks!

Phil
