Hi, @Anonymous , I prefer Power Query to DAX in terms of such data transformation. You may want to follow this pattern.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjIwMtA1MAQiJR2lINdgBVcPFyDLxNwUSMIkjQ2VYnXQ1LrmlaQWFRRlFqcquOZklqQChQwNjIzQdMUCAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [StartDate = _t, Attribute = _t, Value = _t, EndDate = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"StartDate", type date}, {"Attribute", type text}, {"Value", Int64.Type}, {"EndDate", type date}}),
    
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each List.Dates([StartDate], Duration.Days([EndDate]-[StartDate])+1, #duration(1,0,0,0))),
    #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom")
in
    #"Expanded Custom"

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!

@CNENFRNL 

Thanks for your code, however I just copy paste your codes.
And I'm having an error on "Added Custom". I dont know if I'm getting the right list.date

THanks for having this

Hi, @Anonymous , there are some glithes in your code; pls change them like this,

#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each List.Dates([StartDate], Duration.Days(Date.EndOfMonth([StartDate])-[StartDate])+1, #duration(1,0,0,0))),

Can I used that your query? may I know how I can edit the table you created?.
