Creating a new table using DAX

Sorry for stupid question in advance- i have to create a new table, only using dax, name it and name the column (for dates since 

January,1,2019 to February,1,2019).

 

Is it a way i can do it using DAX? 

 

Tried  

CALENDAR(DATE(2019,1,1),DATE(2019,1,1))
but i can't name the table and rename the column for further using in DAX query (i need additional calculations in this query after creating and naming the table, and all it should be done by DAX only).
 
Thank you!

    I guess you're trying to do this

     

    CustomTableName = SELECTCOLUMNS(CALENDAR(DATE(2020,01,01),DATE(2020,07,01)),"CustomColumnName",[Date])

      Thank you! Could you also tell me, how can I use it in one DAX query?

       

      I need to create this table and instantly combine it with another table with sales:

       

      Initial data:

       

      DateSales
      1Jan3
      3Jan6
      5Jan7

       

      I need to receive as a result:

       

      DateSales
      1Jan3
      2Jan0
      3Jan6
      4Jan0
      5Jan7
      6Jan0

      7Jan

      and I have to create and use a table with dates in one dax query

  • go to the table view in Power BI (second icon), then click "New table" and enter the DAX code for the table that you want, incuding the additional columns.
