Dynamic Dim date table - Dax

Hi,

 

I am trying to create a Dimdate table in power bi and the table should contain all dates from today's month last year till today. I have used CALENDAR(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-13,DAY(TODAY())),today()) however it is not solving my purpose as the result contains dates from today's date 13 months ago till today. I need the table to contain dates from 1st of same month last year till today

 

Eg - as today is 10/13/2017, the table contains data from 10/13/2016 till 10/13/2017 but i need my table to contain data from 10/1/2016 till 10/13/2017

 

Thanks in advance

 

Regards,

Rohith

Hey,

 

I just copied this statement from sample table, on a 2nd look I realized that the CALENDAR(<Startdate>, <Enddate>) function was missing, but now it's complete

Table = CALENDAR(
DATE(YEAR(TODAY())-1,MONTH(TODAY()),1), TODAY())

 

Regards

Tom
