Start Date for Fiscal Months for RETURN/ ROW Approach

Hello everybody!

I am using a RETURN-ROW approach for developing an individual calendar.

This calendar approach is structured like this:

Calendar = 
VAR BaseCalendar =
    CALENDAR ( DATE ( 2020; 1; 1 ); DATE ( 2020; 12; 31 ) )
RETURN
    GENERATE (
        BaseCalendar;
        VAR BaseDate = [Date]
        VAR Year =
            YEAR ( BaseDate )
        VAR MonthNumber =
            MONTH ( BaseDate )
        VAR WeekNumber =
            WEEKNUM ( BaseDate )
        VAR FWeek =
            WEEKNUM ( BaseDate; 21 )
        RETURN
            ROW (
                "Day"; BaseDate;
                "Year"; Year;
                "Month Number"; MonthNumber;
                "Month"; FORMAT ( BaseDate; "mmmm" );
                "Year Month"; FORMAT ( BaseDate; "yyyy-mm" );
                "Day of Week"; FORMAT ( BaseDate; "dddd" );
                "Day of Week Short"; FORMAT ( BaseDate; "ddd" );
                "Week"; WeekNumber;
                "Year-Week"; Year & "-" & WeekNumber;
                "Fiscal Week"; FWeek;
                "Fiscal Month Short"; SWITCH (
                    TRUE ();
                    FWeek IN { 1; 2; 3; 4 }; "Jan";
                    FWeek IN { 5; 6; 7; 8 }; "Feb";
                    FWeek IN { 9; 10; 11; 12; 13 }; "Mar";
                    FWeek IN { 14; 15; 16; 17 }; "Apr";
                    FWeek IN { 18; 19; 20; 21 }; "May";
                    FWeek IN { 22; 23; 24; 25; 26 }; "Jun";
                    FWeek IN { 27; 28; 29; 30 }; "Jul";
                    FWeek IN { 31; 32; 33; 34 }; "Aug";
                    FWeek IN { 35; 36; 37; 38; 39 }; "Sep";
                    FWeek IN { 40; 41; 42; 43 }; "Oct";
                    FWeek IN { 44; 45; 46; 47 }; "Nov";
                    FWeek IN { 48; 49; 50; 51; 52; 53 }; "Dec"
            )
    )

 

Now I would like to add the Start Date for each Fiscal Month into this approach.

Is there any chance to include a calculation for this within the code above?

Wrap an ADDCOLUMNS around your ROW?

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Thanks for your approach!

And what kind of calculation would you include for the start date of each fiscal month?
