    Hi moizsherwani,

     

    Try a blank query in the Query Editor and paste this in to the advanced editor

     

    let
    Source = List.Generate(()=>10000, each _ < 1000000, each _ + 1),
    #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error)
in
    #"Converted to Table"

    Did you try pasting this into the Advanced Editor?

     

    let
    Source = List.Generate(()=>10000, each _ < 1000000, each _ + 1),
    #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error)
in
    #"Converted to Table"

    I don't recommend creating a DAX calculated table for this, but if you wanted to for fun you could use this:

    NumberTable =
VAR MinNumber = 10000
VAR MaxNumber = 1000000
RETURN
    SELECTCOLUMNS (
        CALENDAR ( MinNumber, MaxNumber ),
        "Number", INT ( [Date] )
    )

Yes, your solution works perfectly, I am more a DAX fan so was wondering if there was a way to do this in Dax, otherwise your solution is the "BALL"

    Try this for something a bit different in DAX

     

    New Table = SELECTCOLUMNS(CALENDAR(DATE(1927,5,18),DATE(4637,11,26)),"n",int([Date]))
