    What is your source data? And how many birthdays you want to repeat for same person? 

     

    Can you share your expected result?

    My data source is an Excel file. Which has the following fields; Name, Birthday and Age.

    I want PowerBI to show the upcoming birthdays of the 7(or something) upcoming days.

     

    So when its my birthday in the coming days i wanna show something like this

     

    Upcoming birthdays

     

    Tristan - 21 Oct. - Age 24

    This far, I got some help;

     

    Verjaardagen = VAR next = MINX(
	FILTER(
		Leerlingen;
		MONTH(Leerlingen[Verjaardag]) >= MONTH(TODAY()) &&
		DAY(Leerlingen[Verjaardag]) >= DAY(TODAY())
	);
	CALCULATE(
		DATE(
			YEAR(TODAY());
			MONTH(MIN(Leerlingen[Verjaardag]));
			DAY(MIN(Leerlingen[Verjaardag]))
		)
	)
)
RETURN CONCATENATEX(
	FILTER(
		'Leerlingen';
		MONTH(Leerlingen[Verjaardag]) = MONTH(next) &&
		DAY(Leerlingen[Verjaardag]) = DAY(next)
	);
	FIRSTNONBLANK(Leerlingen[Naam]; 1);
	" " & UNICHAR(10) & " "
)

    Which hows all names for todays birthdays, but without age etc.
