cumulative bar graph

I have the following Graph 
1.png
but I want to create a cumulative graph of the previous graph.
I create the following code

Acomulado RCA = 
CALCULATE(
	COUNTA('Reporte'[Etiqueta]);
	FILTER(
		CALCULATETABLE(
			SUMMARIZE('Reporte'; 'Reporte'[Mes]; 'Reporte'[Mes Name]);
			ALLSELECTED('Reporte')
		);
		ISONORAFTER(
			'Reporte'[Mes]; MAX('Reporte'[Mes]); DESC;
			'Reporte'[Mes Name]; MAX('Reporte'[Mes Name]); DESC
		)   
	)
)

that produce the following bar graph

This is more or less what I wanted but I need that each element persist in time, for example for January in the first graph you have 1 yellow so in the cumulative graph you should have 1 yellow, so is fine. In February you have 1 red in the normal graph so in the cumulative graph you should have 1 yellow and 1 red, .... For March you should have 1 yellow, 1 red and 1 green, in May 1 yellow, 1 red and 3 green,....and so on 
what should I change in my code make each color persist over time?

hi, @rodfernandez 

You could try this way:

Step1:

Create a fact Mes table, then create the relationship with report table by Mes

Step2:

Use this formula to add a measure

Acomulado RCA = 
CALCULATE (
    COUNTA ( 'Reporte'[Etiqueta] ),
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( Mes ),
        ISONORAFTER ( 'Mes'[Mes], MAX ( 'Mes'[Mes] ), DESC )
    )
)

Result:
