How to Iterate through Multiple Dates

Hello, I am trying to iterate through multiple dates.

For example: Lets take the analogy of someone giving me a cookie.

For every day that someon gives me a cookie, I'd like to be able to track how many cookies I was given on each day.
EXAMPLE:
12.27.22 - 1 Cookie Given 
12.28.22 - 4 Cookies Given
12.29.22 - 2 Cookies EATEN 
12.30.22 - 6 Cookies given 
(Total Cookies =9)
 
My question is - How can I tell Power BI to do this?

( My real situation below, where "Cookies" is replaced with User Stories [scrum speak] )

hello.UserStories = 
// Calculate user stories from date'date' to the beginning of sprint. (Date >= sprint start && date <= date'date')
// Stories - New, Closed, Removed
VAR retval = CALCULATE(
    [Total User Stories]
)

Return retval

@FEninja_ , The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
Appreciate your Kudos.


 

But I think HR approach can help
