Hi everyone,
I am trying to add a calculated column to a Date table which will auto increment numbers (starting from 5 and ending with -5) based on the value of another boolean column. I have managed to achieve this in Excel via the screenshot below but struggling to recreate this with DAX. Any help would be appreciated.

Solved! Go to Solution.
@imranami add this following column in your date table and I think it will do it
Flag =
VAR __dateRange = CALENDAR ( Dates[Date] -5, Dates[Date] + 5 )
VAR __whereisWorkDay = CALCULATETABLE( VALUES( Dates[IsLastWorkDay] ),ALL(), Dates[Date] IN __dateRange )
VAR __workDayDate = CALCULATE( LASTDATE( Dates[Date] ), ALL(), Dates[Date] IN __dateRange, Dates[IsLastWorkDay]= true() )
RETURN IF ( true() IN __whereisWorkDay, DATEDIFF ( __workDayDate, Dates[Date], DAY ) )

Take a look at Cthulhu, it does something similar:
@imranami add this following column in your date table and I think it will do it

VAR __whereisWorkDay = CALCULATETABLE( VALUES( Dates[IsLastWorkDay] ),ALL(), Dates[Date] IN __dateRange )

RETURN IF ( true() IN __whereisWorkDay, DATEDIFF ( __workDayDate, Dates[Date], DAY ) )
