Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

Asset count measure: = 
CALCULATE( COUNTROWS(Data), 
    FILTER( Data, 
            Data[Created Date] <= MAX( 'Calendar'[Date]) && 
                OR( Data[Retired Date] >= MIN('Calendar'[Date]), Data[Retired Date] = BLANK())
            )
)
