I am trying to visualize Jira issues count over time by status.
Jira issues can be in three status category:
1. new / to do
2. In Progress
3. Done
I want to visualize it in such a way that it shows distinct count of jira issues over time like in line chart over time.

Sounds good. What have you tried and where are you stuck?
I have created a calculated column which contains the date at which the issue was moved to next status and for the current status it contains now() . I was trying to create a measure which will return distinct issues where selectedvalue of x axis i.e., a date is between those two columns which contains the date at which the issue entered a status category and at which it left. I'm not sure if it's a correct approach and measure was giving a straight horizontal line.

Measures can only return a scalar value.
ok, that is possible with a disconnected dates table.
By the way, here's a graphical representation of your sample data. Not very useful
There are also typos where the timestamps for new status entries don't match.
