Creating a custom date range

I have two tables namely App and Job. I am creating a graph that shows whether the job was finished/unfinished.

I would like to display the x-axis such that it shows the last fifteen days. I can't use the filter functionality of power bi since I would have to change the current date everyday. How can I make it to where it updates itself ? Any ideas? 

Update: Here's what I have done so far but it's still not giving me what I want. I have created a calculated column: 

 

LastFifteen = TODAY() - date.  Doing this diaplays only the dates that the in the table.  For instance, I do not have a record on 24th of Feb, but I would still like to display 24th of Feb on my x-axis because it falls in the last 15 days range. How can I do that?

I created a custom table with the help of calender function, then I created relation with date column from custom table to original table date column.

May be you can create a custom table like below and make relation with date column.

 

mydatetable = CALENDAR(TODAY()-15,TODAY())

I would appreciate if you can provide an example. I am still confused. Please see my updated post. 

Hi @sieed,

 

Have your tried the solution provided by rocky09? I just verified that it should work in your scenario.Smiley Happy

 

1. Use the formula below to create an individual Calendar table.

Calendar = CALENDAR(TODAY()-15,TODAY())

2. Create a relationship between your Job table and the created Calendar table with the date column.

 

3. Use the date column from Calendar table as the Axis for the Chart on report.
