Date calendar dax code

Hello,

 

I am completly new to Dax and will appreciate any assistance here. I have come across this dynamic calendar based on DAX and Ifound it very simple to use. the issue is that I need to expand it to inlcude other columns such as Quarters financial YearQuarter etc..

What is the syntax for including the list below in the current code?

YearNumber
DayWeek
WeekNumber
WeekEnding
DayName
CalendarQtr
FinancialQtr
FinancialYr (FY)
MonthName
CalendarMonth

 

Here is the working script at the moment.

 

Dates =
VAR BaseCalendar =
CALENDARAUTO (6)
RETURN
GENERATE (
BASECALENDAR,
VAR BASEDATE = [DATE] VAR DayDate = DAY([DATE])
VAR YEARDATE = YEAR ( BASEDATE )
VAR MONTHNUMBER = MONTH ( BASEDATE )
VAR YEARMONTHNUMBER = YEARDATE * 12 + MONTHNUMBER -1
RETURN ROW (
"DAY", DayDate,
"YEAR", YEARDATE,
"MONTH NUMBER", MONTHNUMBER,
"MONTH", FORMAT ( BASEDATE, "MMMM" ),
"YEAR MONTH NUMBER", YEARMONTHNUMBER,
"YEAR MONTH", FORMAT ( BASEDATE, "MMM YY" )
)
)

 

 

Thanks

D.

    Hi esterdid

     

    I think this might be close 

     

    Dates = 
VAR BaseCalendar =
CALENDAR(date(2016,1,1),today())
RETURN
GENERATE (
BASECALENDAR,
VAR BASEDATE = [DATE] VAR DayDate = DAY([DATE])
VAR YEARDATE = YEAR ( BASEDATE )
VAR MONTHNUMBER = MONTH ( BASEDATE )
VAR YEARMONTHNUMBER = YEARDATE * 12 + MONTHNUMBER -1
VAR FINANCIALQTR = SWITCH(
                        TRUE(),
                        MONTH([Date]) IN {7,8,9} , 1 ,
                        MONTH([Date]) IN {10,11,12} , 2 ,
                        MONTH([Date]) IN {1,2,3} , 3 ,  
                        4)
VAR FINANCIALYR = IF( MONTH([Date]) >=7 , YEARDATE , YEARDATE - 1)
RETURN ROW (
"DAY", DayDate,
"YEAR", YEARDATE,
"MONTH NUMBER", MONTHNUMBER,
"MONTH", FORMAT ( BASEDATE, "MMMM" ),
"YEAR MONTH NUMBER", YEARMONTHNUMBER,
"YEAR MONTH", FORMAT ( BASEDATE, "MMM YY" ),
------------------------------
"Week Number",WEEKNUM([Date]),
"Week Ending",[Date] + (6-(WEEKDAY([Date],3))),
"Day Name" , FORMAT([Date],"DDDD"),
"CalendarQtr" , INT(MONTH([Date]) / 4) + 1 ,       
--
"FinancialQtr" , "FYQ" & FINANCIALQTR ,
"FinancialYr" ,"FY" & FINANCIALYR,
"FinancialYrQtr" ,  FINANCIALQTR &  FINANCIALYR             

)

    Here are some suggestions for a starters,

     

    "Week Number",WEEKNUM([Date]),
"Week Ending",[Date] + (6-(WEEKDAY([Date],3))),
"Day Name" , FORMAT([Date],"DDDD"),
"CalendarQtr" , INT(MONTH([Date]) / 4) + 1

    Just add these to your  RETURN ROW function.

      Thanks Phil,

       

      those worked, the remaining straight forward as well? expecially working out the financial year (e.g. FY17) and financial year qarters?


      FinancialQtr (e.g. FYQ1)

      FinancialQtr (e.g. FYQ12017)
      FinancialYr (FY17)

       

      Thanks
