[lavdeepk]

Hi All,

I want to create a new date table using the calendar function. Calendar formula working when I pass Start/ End from another table But when I pass Start/ End date hard-code in calendar formula showing wired result I am sharing sample result below

Here I want to create a Q4 Calendar table but formula return date starting from 01-04-2019 

Please help me how can create a calendar table between these two dates 2020-12-31,2020-10-01

Hi @lavdeepk ,

Your CALENDAR dax function syntax is wrong. You can't directly pass date values. You have to pass dates using DATE function:

= CALENDAR (DATE (2020, 12, 31), DATE (2020, 10, 01))

HI @lavdeepk ,

Save your Power BI report --> Close it --> Reopen it --> Try again creating your calendar table.

If still there is this issue, share your pbix file.

Also, I am hopinh you are on the latest Power BI Desktop update?

Thanks,

Hi @lavdeepk ,

Not sure what is happening at your end. But I see this working correctly at my end:

Try creating a new table and then go to data view and check.
