How to create lines for a line chart with 4 different data retrieval dates
I have a request. Could someone tell me how to create a line chart with four lines showing values for four different dates? Simply, I need to be able to retrieve total open accounts per person four times each month and compare the values to see how they fluctuate between one date and the next. Here is a chart that shows the open accounts for two dates in March as an example.
I used these filters to achieve this but I need the dates to be dynamic.
FILTER('Date', 'Date'[Date] >=TODAY()- 17)
FILTER('Date', 'Date'[Date] >=TODAY()- 10)
Sample with two lines for two different dates.
Please help!

That is most likely the wrong chart type. Line charts should only be used if the x axis has a (temporal) continuity.

Agree that sample data would help.
