Colander Table

where is the best place to produce a calander table.

 

in power query or with dax in the data in model.

 

does anyone have any code that used to generate these tables? i currently do it manually at the moment adding a coloumn at a time using dax.

hi @NewbieJono 

 

I prefer DAX, it is more convinient and flexible. 

try like:

Date =
ADDCOLUMNS (
CALENDAR (DATE(2020,1,1), DATE(2022,12,31)),
"Year", YEAR ( [Date] ),
"Qtr", "Q" & FORMAT ( [Date], "Q" ),
"MonthNO", FORMAT ( [Date], "MM" ),
"Month", FORMAT ( [Date], "MMM" ),
"Day",FORMAT ( [Date], "DD" ),
"YYQ", FORMAT ( [Date], "YY" ) & "Q" & FORMAT ( [Date], "Q" ),
"YY/MM", FORMAT ( [Date], "YY/MM" ),
"Weekday", WEEKDAY ( [Date],2 )
)

 

it is like:
