Grouping dates into fortnights

Hi everyone,

 

I'm looking for a solution that will help in grouping dates into fortnights, irregardless of month or year. I'll attach an image to help understand what I am meaning.

 

It wouldn't matter if the column started at calendar start or a specific date.

 

The date table I have is just an invoked funtion in M.

 

Hopefully someone can help, I'm not sure what other information I could provide that would be helpful here.

I'm thinking:

 

Fortnight = 
  VAR __BaseDate = DATE(2019,1,1)
  VAR __Days = ([Value].[Date] - __BaseDate) * 1.
RETURN
  INT(__Days/20) + 1
