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.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.

Thank you @lbendlin. That's the kind of chart my manager wants but subject to revision if it does not achieve the intended results. I'll send sample data and more details. 

For things like this, I tend to ask the consumer "What analysis and comparisons are you trying to do here?" I don't ask, "What type of chart do you want?" 

Agree that sample data would help.




Did I answer your question? If so, mark my post as a solution. Also consider helping someone else in the forums!

@lbendlin  thanks for your insights. He revised the requirement and the problem is solved. 
@ToddChittthanks for your input. Yes, the question should always be about analysis and comparisons which had already been discussed. I appreciate your feedback.
