Create a Table with First and Last Date of Current Month

Hi Everyone,

 

I am trying to figure out how to create a table that has the first and last date of current month.

 

DAX expressions that I have tried:

 

Current_WholeMonth = 

Var Mindate = MIN( TODAY() )

Var Maxdate = MAX( TODAY() )

Return

CALENDAR (Mindate, Maxdate)

 

But, it states an error that mentions MIN only accepts a column reference.

 

I was wondering if anyone has a workaround for this. If MIN only accepts a column reference, how should I change the DAX expressions so that it only returns the first and last date of the current month?

 

Expected output (As of 2nd September 2022):

Hi,

Please try something like below.

It is for creating a new table.

 

Current_WholeMonth Table =
VAR _mindate =
    EOMONTH ( TODAY (), -1 ) + 1
VAR _maxdate =
    EOMONTH ( TODAY (), 0 )
RETURN
    CALENDAR ( _mindate, _maxdate )
