Graph the cumulative quantity of occurrences of a string over time

I'd like to create a line graph that shows total cumulative count of occurences of a string (pc_name).

I can find a lot of exampels of this with numbers.  But I can't figure it out with a string.  I'm new to power BI, and am getting a little frustrated.

 

Any advice?

Hi, Lets try with:

 

1. Create a New Table With Distinct IDs

 

Modeling - New Table

 

Tableid = DISTINCT(Table1[ID])

 

 

2. Create a measure:

 

Count of pc_name running total =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTA ( 'Table1'[pc_name] ),
    FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Tableid'[ID] ), Tableid[ID] <= MAX ( Tableid[ID] ) )
)
    + 0

3. In a Matrix Visual :

ID from Table ID 

 

4. Ready

Below is an example created in Exel.  Can this be recreated in Power BI?
