I am creating a Calculated Date table using Min and Max dates as the date range. Frequently I do this using dates from an imported table, but this time I manually entered the MinDate I want. No matter what I do the actual date range does not go past 1/1/2019.
Here's my code:
Date =
var MinDate = DATE(2014,1,1)
var MaxDate = EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)
RETURN
ADDCOLUMNS(
FILTER(
CALENDARAUTO(),
[Date]>= MinDate &&
[Date]<= MaxDate
),
"Year", YEAR([Date]),
"Quarter Number", INT(FORMAT([Date], "q")),
"Quater", "Q" & INT(FORMAT([Date], "q")),
"Quarter Year", INT(FORMAT([Date],"q")) & "Q" & RIGHT(YEAR([Date]),2),
"Month End", EOMONTH([Date],0))
It's clear that I want the variable MinDate to be equal to 1/1/2014, and I use the DATE() function to recognize that value as date.
Here are a few visuals of the Date table:
It only created a date table with 1/1/2019 as the earliest date. What am I missing?

Hi @rliebau
Use CALENDAR instead of CALENDARAUTO:
Date =
VAR MinDate = DATE ( 2014, 1, 1 )
VAR MaxDate = EOMONTH ( TODAY (), -1 )
RETURN
ADDCOLUMNS (
CALENDAR ( MinDate, MaxDate ),
"Year", YEAR ( [Date] ),
"Quarter Number", INT ( FORMAT ( [Date], "q" ) ),
"Quater", "Q" & INT ( FORMAT ( [Date], "q" ) ),
"Quarter Year", INT ( FORMAT ( [Date], "q" ) ) & "Q"
& RIGHT ( YEAR ( [Date] ), 2 ),
"Month End", EOMONTH ( [Date], 0 )
)

I fixed it. I forgot that CALENDARAUTO() relies on a base datetime column in an existing table. I had one table imported already that only had a date range in 2019.
Here's the corrected code for anyone interested:
Date =
var MinDate = DATE(2014,1,1)
var MaxDate = EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)
RETURN
ADDCOLUMNS(
CALENDAR(MinDate, MaxDate),
"Year", YEAR([Date]),
"Quarter Number", INT(FORMAT([Date], "q")),
"Quater", "Q" & INT(FORMAT([Date], "q")),
"Quarter Year", INT(FORMAT([Date],"q")) & "Q" & RIGHT(YEAR([Date]),2),
"Month End", EOMONTH([Date],0))
