Creating Date/Time calendar

Hi guys ! 
 
I have a date/time column " Date_Heure" dans la table "SGD_CPT_LIGNE_LIVE_VUE" and another one that has the same name in "SGD_CPT_LIGNE_HISTO_VUE". 
I want to create a date/time table, wich takes the min date/time from "SGD_CPT_LIGNE_HISTO_VUE", and the last date/time from "SGD_CPT_LIGNE_LIVE_VUE". 
So i created a new table, using this DAX Expression : 
Date = CALENDAR ( MINX ("SGD_CPT_LIGNE_LIVE_VUE";"SGD_CPT_LIGNE_LIVE_VUE"[Date_Heure]) ; MAXX ("SGD_CPT_LIGNE_HISTO_VUE";"SGD_CPT_HISTO_LIVE_VUE"[Date_Heure]) ) 

But i get a column with dates only! ( no time ) The time is always 00:00:00. 
I need to create a date/time table where time increses per 1 minute. ( 13:10 => 13:11 => 13:12 ...)  

Please help me out !

    Hi Ghaston,

    Please check the code in the advanced language like the picture below:

    The duration should from a smaller value, so you need modify the code from the B{0}[Column1].

    Hi Ghaston,

    Based on my test, you could refer to below steps:

    Sample data:

    Find the Earliest value in table A, the Latest value in Table B and convert to table.

    Create a new blank query and enter the code in the advanced language:

    let
        Source =List.DateTimes( A{0}[Column1],DayCount,#duration (0,0,1,0)),
        DayCount = Duration.TotalMinutes(Duration.From (B{0}[Column1] - A{0}[Column1]))+1,TableFromList = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing()),
ChangedType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(TableFromList,{{"Column1", type datetime}})    

 in
        ChangedType

     

    Now you could get the correct result.

    You can also download the PBIX file to have a view.

      Hi v-danhe-msft

      Thanks for your detailed comment. 
      I Followed your instructions, but i get an error at the end. ( "increment" is out of limit ) 


      My date/Time columns, don't contain seconds. Maybe that's the problem ?

        Hi Ghaston,

        I have reproduecd your problem. You could check the code in the advanced language, when you are using the Duration.from function, the parameter should be a bigger one to minus a smaller one, see the picture post below, if you used a smaller one to minus the bigger one, it will show the same error, I suggest to check the value and modify the code.
