Using Multiple Dates Dates

Hello everyone, I have 2 tables a calendar table and the data table

Calander Date Sample (which goes thru 2050):

And my data table:

I have linked the two tables by a relationship in the model view - calendar.date > quality.created_date__c

The end goal is to show by month how many were created, how many were voided, and how many were closed.

I know I need to use the USERELATIONSHIP in the caculation formulas, however before I even attempt to do that I am trying to create the first calculation using the first relationship. As soon as I apply the Calendar table I lose the dates.

This is a screenshot when Only using the Quality table. I am using the month of the created date and a formula to count the Number of names (this is how it should look):

But when I sub the created_date__c for the calendar.date:

The count is right but the Months disappeared.

I evenutally want to add the voided date count and the closed date count using the USERELATIONSHIP formula, but it seems I cant get this beginning part correct.
