    This date table solution didn't seem to work for performance, but that could have been due to other constructions in my report, so I've decided to split the report into functional sub groups, in this way one report becomes many, which isn't ideal, but the populations are about 1/5 what the total report was originally. I sacrificed scope for run time.

Perhaps you don't need to create this column. You can locally import or create a date table that contains the text data type date then connect the two tables using this column.

I'll give this a try for the four most important dates, and see how the performance is effected.
