Dynamic Date Calendar Using Power Query

[ketan10]

I need to create a Date column to dynamically update itself daily.

Ex: Using maybe Power Query, I need a column with a list of dates from
(Today-30 days) TO (Today + 90 days).

These dates would change daily.This means that if:
Today = 31-07-2017

Then I need to create a "Dynamic" column which gives me "ALL" the dates between
01-07-2017 (ie Today - 30 days)
--- TO---
29-10-2017 (ie Today + 90 days)

These dates should change dynamically as the Day changes.

Hi @ketan10,

Create the table in the modeling view  the DAX formula will be:

Table = CALENDAR(TODAY()-30,TODAY()+90)

Should give the expected result.

Hi @ketan10

Can you tell more about why you need this or what you are trying to achieve with it? And if you insist on using Power Query?

Thanks @MFelix this works. But I also need to have a End Of Week column for these dates. Could not find a function for that in DAX.

Hi @ketan10,

Try using this formula:

Week_End_Date = DATEADD ( 'Table'[Date], ( 7 - WEEKDAY ( 'Table'[Date], 1 ) ), DAY )

If you need the end of the week be different from Sunday replace the 1 to 2 or 3.
