Getting all dates between 2 dates/times

I have two columns which start and end date/times. I am looking to calulates the dates that are inbetween these dates. I have achieved this with a custom column using the following:

 

= {Number.From([StartDate])..Number.From([EndDate])}

 

However, this doesnt work if the day includes a half day. Is there a way to put an expection on this? as it gives me and error for converting the int as its a half value.

Hi @Anonymous ,

According to your description, here’s my solution.

1.Do the following steps in PowerQuery.

let

    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjIwMtI3MNQ3NFAwMLACIyUdhKgZQjRWB6waKAhEFgqGRlbGCNVwUXOY6lgA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [StartDate = _t, EndDate = _t]),

    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"StartDate", type datetime}, {"EndDate", type datetime}}),

    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each List.Dates(DateTime.Date([StartDate]),Duration.Days(DateTime.Date([EndDate]) -DateTime.Date([StartDate])), #duration(1,0,0,0))),

    #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom")

in

#"Expanded Custom"

@Anonymous , Try in power query like

List.Dates(DateTime.Date([Start Date]),Duration.Days(DateTime.Date([End Date]) -DateTime.Date([Start Date])), #duration(1,0,0,0))
