Calculate open jobs

Hello, I’m trying to figure out how to be able to calculate open services and be able to show a daily history.  I can’t seem to figure out the DAX.  I’m guessing it needs to be a calculated field saying something like Open Service = Count of Services where Initiation date <= Calendar date and Repair date > Calendar date.  Do I link the date fields to Calendar?  I’m lost.  Thank you in advance!

You don't need to link the dates to your calendar table. You can define a measure like

Num open tickets = 
var minDate = MIN('Calendar'[Date])
var maxDate = MAX('Calendar'[Date])
return CALCULATE( COUNTROWS(Tickets'), Tickets[Initiation date] <= minDate && 
   ( Tickets[Repair date] >= maxDate || ISBLANK(Tickets[Repair date]) )
)
