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]))Best Regards,

My Youtube Tips at: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPaNVDMhUXGYrm5rm6ME6rjzKGSvT9JmyTo 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 :

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.
