I have a table of weekly values that I want to break out into daily values.
Data is similar to below but is in Excel.
CREATE TABLE #tempTable (
Brand VARCHAR(100),
Date DATE,
Spend int)
INSERT INTO #tempTable
(
Brand,
Date,
Spend
)
VALUES
('A', '1/7/2021', 100),
('A', '1/14/2021', 150),
('A', '1/21/2021', 200),
('B', '1/7/2021', 250),
('B', '1/14/2021', 200),
('B', '1/21/2021', 900),
('C', '1/7/2021', 200),
('C', '1/14/2021', 100),
('C', '1/21/2021', 50)
SELECT
*
FROM #tempTable
I want to generate records for every day in between the available dates for each Brand so that the end result looks like this:
I found this suggestion on in an old StackOverflow post, but it only works to create a table with just Date and Spend.
FullTable = ADDCOLUMNS( CALENDAR(MIN(#tempTable[Date]), MAX(#tempTable[Date])), "Quantity", LOOKUPVALUE( #tempTable[Spend], #tempTable[Date], MAXX( FILTER(#tempTable, #tempTable[Date] <= EARLIER([Date])), [Date] ) ) )
Does anyone have any idea how to expand it to include an additional dimension?
Solved! Go to Solution.
let
Source = #table({"Brand","Date","Spend"},{
{"A", "1/7/2021", 100},
{"A", "1/14/2021", 150},
{"A", "1/21/2021", 200},
{"B", "1/7/2021", 250},
{"B", "1/14/2021", 200},
{"B", "1/21/2021", 900},
{"C", "1/7/2021", 200},
{"C", "1/14/2021", 100},
{"C", "1/21/2021", 50}}),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}}),
#"Transformed Column" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Changed Type", {"Date", each List.Reverse(List.Dates(_,7,-#duration(1,0,0,0)))}),
#"Expanded Date" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Transformed Column", "Date")
in
#"Expanded Date"
Expansion_DAX =
GENERATE (
Base,
ADDCOLUMNS ( GENERATESERIES ( 0, 6 ), "All Date", Base[Date] - [Value] )
)
Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |

The DAX example was exactly what I needed. Though one of the dates did get duplicated, but I'll find a way around that.
Thanks!
