Date Table Help - Month Range

Hello,

 

I am looking to create a date table. However, I need the ability to include all days in a month not just the first day. I am creating a report where there will be a table that lists the number of "projects" that are committed in a given month. I want to use an external date table to filter this information and structure it in order throughout the year. I am having a difficult time processing how to create this table.

 

Let me know if you can help or if there is already a thread I should look at.

 

Thanks!

Hi @jmmoran20 ,

 

You may create a calculated table Like DAX below, then create relationship with your fact data table .

 

Calendar= CALENDARAUTO()

Or

Calendar= CALENDAR( MIN(Data[Date]), MAX(Data[Date]))

Thank you for your responses. I appreciate the feedback. I think the part of the question that I may have confused you on is that I am looking for a way to count the number of projects within a given month based upon the project's committment date. So, for example, I am trying to get a count of Total Committed for Jan 2020 - December 2021. But also using a date table in order to properly organize the data. Here's the data source for reference:

@jmmoran20 , I created one in my webinar on Time Intelligence: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Webinars-and-Video-Gallery/PowerBI-Time-Intelligence-Calendar-WTD-Y...

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :
