Hi ThxAlot,

 

Thank you very much for your help!  I download your file but I'm able to open it.  It says "...is incompatible with your current version of Microsoft Power BI Desktop.  Please install the latest version and try opening the document again."

    PQ code for tables: _CALENDAR, ATTENDANCE

    // _CALENDAR
let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("bdErDoAwFETRvVST0Jm2fCQCFIqParr/bYAjJNce8fJuptbg6NRLvUIXruNeQ+s+NGEizC9uy37+taAOdGAknAhnQkVU4QMyM5YpoxZUTBO2aeInZmRjn3k1nM2JD2OeeTkPzBhoXM84X/ry2gM=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t, #"Working Day" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}, {"Working Day", type logical}})
in
    #"Changed Type"

// ATTENDANCE
let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("bc67DcAgDAbhXVwjwW8jh8yC2H+NFCgv6dqvuZvTpKqs3jysWM+0VTYegN4IReiEnXAQnoBBdcWNkh7sgO/8F0XohOOH6wI=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [date = _t, id = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"date", type date}, {"id", type text}}),
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Changed Type", "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type)
in
    #"Added Index"

     

    DAX for calculated column

    Consecutive = 
VAR __dt = ATTENDANCE[date]
RETURN
    COUNTROWS(
        FILTER(
            ATTENDANCE,
            VAR __dt_ = ATTENDANCE[date]
            RETURN
                ATTENDANCE[id] = EARLIER( ATTENDANCE[id] )
                    && ATTENDANCE[date] <= __dt
                    && EARLIER( ATTENDANCE[Index] ) - ATTENDANCE[index] + 1
                        = COUNTROWS(
                            FILTER(
                                _CALENDAR,
                                __dt_ <= _CALENDAR[Date] && _CALENDAR[Date] <= __dt
                                    && _CALENDAR[Working Day]
                            )
                        )
        )
