Cumulative Count by Date

Hi,

For simplification purposes, I have a table with 2 columns.

Ref (Text) and Date Built (DD/MM/YYYY). 

Ref is an order reference, non unique. I don't care what value Ref has just how many orders (rows) in a particular Month.

I ultimately want to be able to draw a line graph showing cumulative total number of Refs by Month.

I'm very new to  Power BI and reporting so appologies in advance. Any help greatly appreciated.

Pete

@peterd add new measure as below

 

cumulative total = 
caculate( countrows( table ), filter( all( table ), table[date] <= max( table[date] ) ) )

In expression, change table and column name as per your data model.
