    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 ,

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
