Get the Count for each row

Question

I'm trying to get the count for each row to total count for each month
Something like this
Hardware     |      Jan
Monitors       |       5
Processors   |      137
Printers        |      57
etc........
How can I write a query for this. I can get the Hardware column but don't know how to get the next column.

If you can provide more data like sample input DML statements it would have been wonderful..
Assuming is , you need a pivot. Here is an article on basic Pivot..

something like this may be..
DECLARE @Input TABLE
Hardware VARCHAR(20),
[Date] VARCHAR(20)
INSERT INTO @Input VALUES('Monitor', '01/01/2014'), ('CPU', '01/01/2014'), ('Monitor', '01/03/2014')
, ('ABC', '01/01/2014'),('Monitor', '02/01/2014')
;WITH CTE AS
SELECT Hardware, LEFT(DATENAME(M, [Date]),3) AS [MonthName] FROM @Input
SELECT *
FROM
SELECT Hardware, [MonthName], COUNT(Hardware) AS Count FROM CTE GROUP BY Hardware, [MonthName]) a
PIVOT (MAX([Count]) FOR [MonthName] IN ([Jan], [Feb])) pvt
