Hi @Leslie1015,
You can create two calculate columns to achieve your requirement. The start date reference from the raw date field, the end date use current index field value to lookup the next row date value.
StartDate= 'Table'[Date]
EndDate =
CALCULATE(
MAX('Table'[Date]),
FILTER(
ALL('Table'),
'Table'[Index] = EARLIER('Table'[Index]) + 1
)
)
