I built a calendar lookup table using the following MCode:
let
// Start and end dates for the calendar table
StartDate = #date(2018, 1, 1),
EndDate = DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow()),
// Number of days in the calendar table
NumberOfDays = Duration.Days(EndDate - StartDate) + 1,
// Generate a list of dates
DatesList = List.Dates(StartDate, NumberOfDays, #duration(1, 0, 0, 0)),
// Convert the list of dates to a table
CalendarTable = Table.FromList(DatesList, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), {"Date"}, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(CalendarTable,{{"Date", type date}}),
#"Inserted Day" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Day", each Date.Day([Date]), Int64.Type),
#"Inserted Day of Week" = Table.AddColumn(#"Inserted Day", "Day of Week", each Date.DayOfWeek([Date]), Int64.Type),
#"Inserted Day Name" = Table.AddColumn(#"Inserted Day of Week", "Day Name", each Date.DayOfWeekName([Date]), type text),
#"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Inserted Day Name", "Time of Week", each if [Day of Week] < 5 then "Weekday" else "Weekend"),
#"Inserted Start of Week" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Conditional Column", "Start of Week", each Date.StartOfWeek([Date]), type date),
#"Inserted Week of Year" = Table.AddColumn(#"Inserted Start of Week", "Week of Year", each Date.WeekOfYear([Date]), Int64.Type),
#"Inserted Quarter" = Table.AddColumn(#"Inserted Week of Year", "Quarter", each Date.QuarterOfYear([Date]), Int64.Type),
#"Added Conditional Column1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Inserted Quarter", "Quarter of Year", each if [Quarter] = 1 then "Q1" else if [Quarter] = 2 then "Q2" else if [Quarter] = 3 then "Q3" else if [Quarter] = 4 then "Q4" else null),
#"Inserted Month" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Conditional Column1", "Month", each Date.Month([Date]), Int64.Type),
#"Inserted Start of Month" = Table.AddColumn(#"Inserted Month", "Start of Month", each Date.StartOfMonth([Date]), type date),
#"Inserted Month Name" = Table.AddColumn(#"Inserted Start of Month", "Month Name", each Date.MonthName([Date]), type text),
#"Inserted Year" = Table.AddColumn(#"Inserted Month Name", "Year", each Date.Year([Date]), Int64.Type)
in
#"Inserted Year"
and this works as expected in the Power Query:
When I close and apply and look at the table in 'Table View' it is removing half the dates and I have no idea why?
I have no relationships set up:

Hi Adam,
The loaded date table may just not be sorted. If you search the Date column for "02 January 2018" (or search for 1/2/2018 in the below), does it pop up?
