Currently power bi doesn't support the feature you mentioned, I would suggest you to create a table which contains date(or datetime) column in the database, then connect to the database table, so that you only need to refresh the table in power bi.

Thanks.

I haven't figured out how to do that in Power BI.

 

Could you make a tutorial for how to solve this?
