Post PatronFunction expects a column name as argument number 4? Help :-)
Hi unclejemima
Yes... AddColumn is a function which returns a Table......It cannot be used in Calculated Columns and Measures....Directly..
However you can use this code as a CALCULATED TABLE
So if you go to Modelling Tab>>New Table and paste this code...you will get an entirely new Table in your Model
Community ChampionHi unclejemima
This is a calculated table right???
I hope you are not using it as a MEASURE or Calculated Column
When I use it as a calculated table... it works perfectly
Go to Modelling Tab>>>NEW TABLE and then use this formula
DateTime =
ADDCOLUMNS (
CROSSJOIN (
CALENDAR ( MIN ( Invoice[NvDate] ), MAX ( Invoice[NvDate] ) ),
UNION (
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 1, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 2, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 3, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 4, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 5, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 6, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 7, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 9, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 10, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 11, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 12, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 13, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 14, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 15, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 16, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 17, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 18, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 19, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 20, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 21, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 22, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 23, 0, 0 ) ),
ROW ( "Time", TIME ( 24, 0, 0 ) )
)
),
"DateTime", [Date] + [Time]
)

This is what i get when i use your code as a "calculated table" with a dummy Invoice table of 2 rows
unclejemimaHmmm...it might be because I already have a column in my calender called "Date"and its trying to make another with the DAX?
Its supposed to give me this...

haha. I'm such a noob. I have no clue.
The screenshot came from this thread http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/how-to-build-a-calendar-table-with-date-and-time/m-p/374493#M170076....and it looked exactly what I wanted to do.Basically I have a calender table and I'm trying to get hours and minutes on it...so I went to my existing Calender table, made a new calculation column, pasted the formula in my first post in and keep getting the error.
Is it not supposed to be a calculated column?
