Count status with conditional dates

Hi, I have a challenge and I need your help.


I have a status log per tasks, in which I have the record of the changes status of each task.

Table.jpg
For example, task "A" goes through states 1, 2 and 3 at such times.
What I want to achieve, is to be able to graph the number of tasks in each state at a certain moment, at a certain moment of time should show the last state of each task before that time.
For example, in the following graph I show the quantities in the table above.

The challenge is to be able to explore by month, day and hours and count the status for each time.

In this scenario, I assume you have a Date/Time to get those certain moments. However, since there's no direct relationship between these certain moments and your source table. You can't include the fields from these two tables into same chart visual.

 

For your requirement, you can only create a slicer for those certain moments, the build a measure to get the last status for each task.

 

Last Status = 
var MaxTime = CALCULATE(MAX(Table3[Time]),FILTER(Table3,Table3[Time]<=MAX(Table4[Time])))
return
CALCULATE(MAX(Table3[Status]),FILTER(Table3,Table3[Time]=MaxTime))

And to calculate the number of tasks for each status, we have to summarize above table into calculated table. However, it's not possible to generate a dynamic table. And we can't assign different aggregation on different hierarchy level. So these calculation can't be explored on different level.
