Line graph to show counts of records, by month, based on the record's start and end date

Bounced around trying to find a solution and thought I found one using the 'open tickets' solution HERE.  Unfortunately the resulting visual is not bucketing the records by date appropriately.  Hoping for some assistance in finding a solution.

 

I'm trying to build a visual which shows the count of 'PositionID', by 'OrgGrp', which exists within in a month, utilzing the range between the 'JobStart' and 'JobEnd' to determine whether it should be counted. 

 

Here's a sample of the dataset:

Thank you for the reply.  However it doesn't quite get me to a solution. 
In the example you provided there is only one date defined, 'Date', for each record in the data table.  The solution I'm after would derive the count for a user defined period by evaluating the 'job start' and 'job end' dates and count that record if it is active during the defined period.
I'm thinking I may have to build a table to break out the records by date based on their start/end dates.  Thoughts?

Any further assistance is very much appreciated.

You are welcome.  I have transformed your data to ensure that only a single date column remains.  Please study the transformation steps in the Query Editor to gain better understanding of what i have done.
