Monthly Totals

So I have two formulas from two different datasets that I'm trying to simultaneously display on a line graph. One formula works as intended on gathering the monthly total which is this formula:

The formula that isn't working as intended is this one:

It shows the sum total of all cases over the years rather than the number of cases that were created in a particular month:

If you are using month on your axis, then it should just be:

 

Case Count = COUNT('Case'[CaseNumber])

 

To get the cases each month. Your formula is essentially a running total.
