Groups? Measures? Multi-results for a Stacked Area Chart

[NotMyJob]

Greetings Gurus!

I'm lost on this one, as before my data source had four separate columns for this data and COUNT worked.  Now I'm confronted with one column with multiple entries (20+) from a list:  ASSET, COST, QTY, etc.  I'm not able to figure out how to get pbi to present that in this format: 

Is there a dax expression that would do this?  As the field is a string, COUNT, etc doesn't work.

Help help would be awesome, and thank you very much!

Here's a sample data set:

Hi @NotMyJob ,

Do you mean to count the number of these categories? The date column of the date dimension table is used as the x-axis of the visualization?

If I understand you wrongly, please show the expected result in a picture.

On this, it really doesn't matter the column.  The date column is the x axis as in the graphic.  As to align the image with a specific column, I've pasted together this:

I'm trying to count string values from all of the different entries in one column over the course of a time period (determnined by a slicer).

But what are you trying to count?
And where is the status column that you use for the legend in your example? (On Track, On Track Due Soon, etc...)?

Hard to say without seeing your data, but try DISTINCTCOUNT or COUNTROWS?
