Generating a DATES column to control dates in other tables

Hi,

 

I have 3 tables with the column ENTRY_DAY. As all of them has several rows with the same entry day I cant join them. I thought to create a new table with just one column having unique day values so that I can join the other tables with it and control them through filtering etc.

 

Problem is that as the data is going to be generated daily each day a new entry day will be generated in the other tables.

At first I though to create an excel table with days until 2024 or so but then when using the time slicer it gets unusable as it allows you to pick all the dates till 2024.

 

So the second choice would be to generate a column using distinct with one of the other tables entry_day columns but they don't have all the dates on the table.

 

So I was wondering if there could be a way to generate dates trhough dax.

 

Thanks!

Seems I solved it by using this formula= calendar(DATE(2016,1,1),TODAY())

 

Hope it refreshes each day!
