    I’m not sure about your exact table. I write some DAX formulas for following sample table (There is another Calendar table which has relationship with this fact table). Please take a look at the result to see if it is you desired.

     

     

    Year = 
    YEAR ( Table1[Date] )
    

     

    Month =
    MONTH ( Table1[Date] )
    

     

    ExistClient = 
    CALCULATE (
        COUNTROWS ( Table1 ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( Table1 ),
            Table1[Year] = EARLIER ( Table1[Year] )
                && Table1[Month] < EARLIER ( Table1[Month] )
                && Table1[Client] = EARLIER ( Table1[Client] )
        )
    )
    

     

    DistinctCount = 
    CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( Table1[Client] ), Table1[ExistClient] = BLANK () )
    

     

    Percent = 
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( Table1[Client] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( Table1 ),
            Table1[Month] <= MAX ( Table1[Month] )
                && Table1[Year] = MAX ( Table1[Year] )
                && Table1[ExistClient] = BLANK ()
        )
    )
        / CALCULATE (
            DISTINCTCOUNT ( Table1[Client] ),
            FILTER ( ALL ( Table1 ), Table1[ExistClient] = BLANK () )
    )
    

     

     

    There are also some documents about Pareto Chart in PowerBI. Hope they are helpful to you.
