Add Calculation on the Creation Table

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I have tried to add dynamic calculations when I am generating a table in Power BI, I would like to know if it is possible to do this.

This is the actual Script:

UOM Resources =

DATATABLE (

"ID"; INTEGER;

"Month Of Analysis";STRING;

{

{ 1; FIRSTDATE(Resources_UP[Date])};

{ 2; "Month -01"};

{ 3; "Month -02"};

{ 4; "Month -03"};

{ 5; "Month -04"};

{ 6; "Month -05"};

{ 7; "Month -06"};

{ 8; "Month -07"};

{ 9; "Month -08"};

{ 10; "Month -09"};

{ 11; "Month -10"};

{ 12; "Month -11"};

{ 13; "Month -12"}

}

)

If i remove the calculation just work.

@Anonymous - The DATATABLE function can only accept constants. One solution is to Union 2 tables together:

UOM Resources = 
var a = DATATABLE (
"ID", INTEGER,
"Month Of Analysis",STRING,
{
{ 2, "Month -01"},
{ 3, "Month -02"},
{ 4, "Month -03"},
{ 5, "Month -04"},
{ 6, "Month -05"},
{ 7, "Month -06"},
{ 8, "Month -07"},
{ 9, "Month -08"},
{ 10, "Month -09"},
{ 11, "Month -10"},
{ 12, "Month -11"},
{ 13, "Month -12"}
}
)
var b = ADDCOLUMNS(DATATABLE ( "ID", INTEGER, {{1}}), "Month Of Analysis", FIRSTDATE(Sales[SalesDate]))
return UNION(a,b)
