Count of stores that are selling only 1 product for a specific date range.

I have been struggling with this question for a few days. I can not share the data as it is not my data. To best try to explain the data. I have an extensive data set with columns of Date, Store number, and Product number. 

 

I need to know how many stores only have 1-9 products and have the ability to slice by date. Any suggestions are appreciated.

 

I need to generate a table that looks something similar to the table below:

// You first have to create a table with

// via DAX (but should be in Power Query).

[# Distinct Products] = // calculcated table
var MaxNumberOfDistinctProducts =
    MAXX(
        VALUES( YourTable[Store Number] ),
        CALCULATE(
            // assuming Product Number identifies
            // a product uniquely
            DISTINCTCOUNT( YourTable[Product Number] )
        )

 var Output = 
    SELECTCOLUMNS(
        GENERATESERIES( 0, MaxNumberOfDistinctProducts, 1 ),
        "# Dist Prods", [Value]
    )
 return

// Once you've got this... here's the measure:
