How can I go about displaying data like how many users has signed up this month? Do I need any new data fields or can I use created date and count?
Can’t seem to find any info 
You could use ‘created date’ for this…
Just search for User’s who’s created date is later than the start of the current month…
But note: ‘created date’ is NOT the same as the date a User signed up to your app (rather it’s the date that the User was created in the database, which could be up to 3 days before they signed up), so it won’t be completely accurate.
If you need to know when a User signed up to your app you’ll have to have a separate User field to store that date.
Also, be aware, that any privacy rules applied to the User datatype (that prevent it being found in searches) will affect the count - only Users that the current User has permission to ‘find in searches’ will be counted, so bear that in mind.
Another option is to create a datatype for this, with a field of Monthly User count, and update it every time a new User signs up to your app, and reset it each month.

I tend to just do a current date +days -30 as the ‘month’ in these if it just for general stats.
Saves messing with months.
Also means you can save -7 -30 and -365 as an option set and use them to drive a last week/month/year drop-down.

Hmm intresting
Hmm interesting idea! Might look into that! How do I reset it after 30 days?
Do you do that as a condition or how do you go about doing that?
Just run a backend workflow to reset the value at the start of each month.
This is the most i could follow haha, whats the next?
What’s this part?
It is an option set.
