Line Chart Cumulative

Seeking a Cumlative Line chart based on Issue and Cease Date of Certifcation in my fact table. 
So i can show over date table hiareachy how many issued a cumlative figure on a line chart. 

Issue and Cease will contain Nulls 
Each row has a person ID and both Issue and Cease Date have relation to Date Table. 

I have tried reviewing posts and chatgbt its throughly stumped me 🤔
Ideally solution in DAX though can look at M solution if required.

@LloydWData Generally that is something like:

Measure = 
  VAR __Date = MAX('Dates'[Date])
  VAR __Table = FILTER(ALL('Table'), [Date] <= __Date)
  VAR __Result = SUMX( __Table, [Value] )
RETURN
  __Result

If that doesn't help, Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
