How to create a date column in a timetable

Hi.

 

I have a time table set up like this.

 

TimeTable =
var HourTable = SELECTCOLUMNS(GENERATESERIES(0, 23), "Hour", [Value])
var MinuteTable = SELECTCOLUMNS(GENERATESERIES(0, 59), "Minute", [Value])
var SecondsTable = SELECTCOLUMNS(GENERATESERIES(0, 59), "Second", [Value])
return
ADDCOLUMNS(
    CROSSJOIN(HourTable, MinuteTable, SecondsTable),
    "Time", TIME([Hour], [Minute], [Second]))
 
I would like to add a date column with the actual date for the day for each row in order to create a relation with my date table, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
any help is appreciated.
 
Best regards /Mattias

Hi Mattias,

Here is one way to do this:

TimeTable =
var HourTable = SELECTCOLUMNS(GENERATESERIES(0, 23), "Hour", [Value])
var MinuteTable = SELECTCOLUMNS(GENERATESERIES(0, 59), "Minute", [Value])
var SecondsTable = SELECTCOLUMNS(GENERATESERIES(0, 59), "Second", [Value])
return
ADDCOLUMNS(
    CROSSJOIN(HourTable, MinuteTable, SecondsTable),
    "Time", TIME([Hour], [Minute], [Second]),
    "Date",TODAY(),
    "DateTime",FORMAT(TODAY() &" " & TIME([Hour], [Minute], [Second]),"DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS"))

End result:
