I hope I understood correctly,
If you want to define date periods with a text or a number column. You can define the date period in Power Query. For example. You want to have a two week periods.
Add a custom column and add something like this.
if Date.DayOfYear([Date]) <= 14 then "Period1" else
if Date.DayOfYear([Date]) > 14 and Date.DayOfYear([Date]) <= 28 then "Period2" else "Period3"
Something along those lines. Using Date.DayOfYear will define this code for every year in your date table
Thanks
