Date Table

Hi community

 

I have a dataset where the last entry against a date is 01.09.2022. My current date table (below) returns a date table with the last date 31.12.2022.

How would i change this so it returns the maximum date in the dataset and not the final day of the year of this date ?

 

Date Table =
ADDCOLUMNS(
CALENDARAUTO(),
"YEAR", YEAR([Date]),
"Month", FORMAT([Date], "mmmm"),
"MONTH NUMBER", MONTH([Date]))
 
Thanks!! 🙂

Let's say the date field in your fact table is called 'FactTable'[Date]

You can limit the start and end date in the calendar table by using:

Date Table =
VAR _MinDate =
    MIN ( FactTable[Date] )
VAR _MaxDate =
    MAX ( FactTable[Date] )
RETURN
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        CALENDAR ( _MinDate, _MaxDate ),
        "YEAR", YEAR ( [Date] ),
        "Month", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmmm" ),
        "MONTH NUMBER", MONTH ( [Date] )
    )

Hi @Caldowd98 ,

I don´t reccomend you to limit the rows of your calendar table to the last date of your fact table. You can have problems with time intelligence functions.

 

See here how a calendar table must be written:
