Need advice on global date approach

Manish answered a renewal rate question for me that has helped me understand broader issue with my data set, and visualizations I need to provide.  Below is an example of my data set.  As you can see I have many dates.  I need to be able to show count of contracts under a given date scenario(s) for a given period of time.  For example, I need the ability to display a line chart where my dimension or x-axis is a given time period (days of a week, weeks of month, etc...--not one of the dates listed below), and my expressions are number of contracts with an Acct_Date, Eff_Date, Exp_Date and/or any other date below, equal to that period (day/wk/mo).  It seems I need to introduce some sort of global date, but I am not sure of the best way to do this.  Number of contracts is 7-10 million over multi-year span and all contracts have all of the respective dates.

Thanks for any direction you can provide.

Gary
