Displaying Multiple dates in a Power Bi Matrix Visual

Hello, 

 

Was wondering whether anyone would be able to help. 

 

I am looking to use a matrix to show dates for meetings across the year. When there is one meeting date across a month using a date column works ideally. as shown below:

The issue comes from if there are two dates in the same month. The data looks like this:

Column 1 & 2 are standard date columns and the third column is a custom column showing the ideal information to be shown. 

 

is there any way of showing this data?

    Hi Chris_Leiper ,

     

    If your dates are in different columns, I suggest you to UNPIVOT your table and then create a measure to show date.

    Unpivoit>

    Measure:

    Combine = CONCATENATEX('Table','Table'[Value],"-")

    Create a calculated table:

    Calendar = ADDCOLUMNS(CALENDARAUTO(),"Year Month",YEAR([Date]) * 100 + MONTH([Date]),"Month Year",FORMAT([Date],"MMMM YYYY"))

    Result is as below.

    Best Regards,

      Do you think it is possible to Format 22/06/2023-23/06/2023 to Thursday 22nd & Friday 23rd?
