- 1 year ago
Hi SK_KE , Could you try this please
let
StartDate = #date(2020, 1, 1), // Change this to your date
// Define the end date as today
EndDate = DateTime.LocalNow(),
// Calculate the number of days between start and end date
NumberOfDays = Duration.Days(Duration.From(EndDate - StartDate)),
DateList = List.Dates(StartDate, NumberOfDays + 1, #duration(1, 0, 0, 0)),
DateTable = Table.FromList(DateList, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), {"Date"}),// Add additional columns for year, month, day, etc.
ExpandedTable = Table.TransformColumns(DateTable, {{"Date", each DateTime.Date(_), type date}}),
DateWithColumns = Table.AddColumn(ExpandedTable, "Year", each Date.Year([Date]), Int64.Type),
DateWithMonth = Table.AddColumn(DateWithColumns, "Month", each Date.Month([Date]), Int64.Type),
DateWithDay = Table.AddColumn(DateWithMonth, "Day", each Date.Day([Date]), Int64.Type),
DateWithQuarter = Table.AddColumn(DateWithDay, "Quarter", each Date.QuarterOfYear([Date]), Int64.Type),
DateWithMonthName = Table.AddColumn(DateWithQuarter, "MonthName", each Date.MonthName([Date]), type text),
DateWithWeekDay = Table.AddColumn(DateWithMonthName, "DayName", each Date.DayOfWeekName([Date]), type text)

Dear Akash, Thank you - let me try your suggested solution and advise. I'll need to test by seeing if the table will refresh automatically tomorrow. SK
