    Do you mean like this?

    Skill Count = 
CALCULATE ( 
    SUMX ( 
        SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[Employee Name], 'Table'[Skill Name], 'Table'[Status] ),
        IF ( 
            CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date/Time] ) ) =
                CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date/Time] ), ALL ( 'Table'[Date/Time], 'Table'[Status] ), ALL ( 'Status' ) ),
            1
        )
    ),
    'Date'[Date] <= MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
)

    In the table below Employee 1 has 11 unique Skill Names, which you can see has multiple Status per Skill Name and some have repeated values from changing of those statuses. With a slicer selected as Status = Not Verified, the total should show 7 by returning back 1 Status with the Status as Not Verified per Skill Name. Because that Status can be multiple times per Skill Name, the latest Date/Time should be selected.

    Here is the same table but with only Employee 1 and sorted by Skill Name then Date/Time to more easily understand the example above. The table above was sorted by Date/Time as it would normally appear.

      Ok, that does not match with your initial description. Kindly provide your red markups on below proposal's screenshots.

        In your two examples, the total should be the sum of all employees for that status.

        Example 1:

        Employee 1 = 7 + Employee 3 = 1 == Total = 8

        Example 2: 

        Employee 1 = 5 + Employee 2 = 3 + Employee 4 = 2 == Total = 10

         

        In addition in your first table, you can see that for the skill Quality Orientation you are returning two values for Not Verified. There are two values of Not Verified for that Skill but I only need the latest status and only counting that 1.

         

        In the example that I provided for Employee 1, I've highlighted below the skills that should be counted for Not Verified:

        Employee NameSkill NameStatusDate/Time
        Employee 1Active ListeningNot verified10/17/19 22:34
        Employee 1Adaptability & FlexibilityVerified8/21/19 12:20
        Employee 1Adaptability & FlexibilitySubmitted8/22/19 17:12
        Employee 1High School Diploma or equivalentNot verified10/23/19 19:21
        Employee 1Initiating ActionSubmitted9/24/19 20:27
        Employee 1InterpersonalNot verified8/21/19 12:17
        Employee 1InterpersonalNot verified8/21/19 12:17
        Employee 1InterpersonalNot verified8/21/19 12:17
        Employee 1Managing WorkVerified8/21/19 12:20
        Employee 1Quality OrientationNot verified9/24/19 20:27
        Employee 1Quality OrientationSubmitted9/24/19 20:27
        Employee 1Quality OrientationNot verified10/14/19 19:18
        Employee 1ResponsibleNot verified10/17/19 22:34
        Employee 1Senior / Lead Claim Processing TechnicianNot verified8/21/19 12:20
        Employee 1Senior / Lead Claim Processing TechnicianSubmitted10/15/19 1:39
        Employee 1Stress ToleranceNot verified10/17/19 22:34
        Employee 1System ArchitectureSubmitted9/24/19 20:27
        Employee 1System ArchitectureVerified10/14/19 19:18

        I also made an error before, the total for Not Verified should be 6. I counted an extra one because I had the dates sorted the wrong way. The most recent status needs to be Not Verified for it to count. You will notice the Skill Senior / Lead Claim Processing Technician is not counted now.
