count(distinct {<M_Date={">=$(=date(monthstart(Today(1)),'YYYY-MM-DD'))<=$(=date(monthend(Today(1)),'YYYY-MM-DD'))"}>} NewAccount)

if (Max(M_Date)=Date(Today(),'YYYY-MM-DD'),1,0)

Hi Steve

Try the following, with your fields of course:

Count({<Month={"$(=Month(Today()))"},Year={"$(=Year(Today()))"}>}distinct AccountID)
