How to show beginning balance?

Question

I want to show a 12-month trending report showing how many accounts we have month by month cumulatively since the beginning of 2005. The beginning and ending month can be any 12 month period.
I have two columns in the report: Year/Month and Count columns. For the count column, I used the formula RSUM(COUNT("Create_date")). I have "is prompt" filter on the CREATE_DATE. My dashboard prompt for CREATED_DATE is "between" operator.
So if the report is from 2009-10 through 2010-09, the report will give me the count for all the accounts created in 2009-10. For 2009-11, it will give me the cum count from 2009-10. And so on.
As you see, the above won't give me the cum count for all the accounts created from 2005.
The question is: how do I get a cum count for each month starting from 2005, let's say, and yet show the report only for a 12-month period?
