Hi @Anonymous , 

 

you can create a date table based on your order table like that; 

 

Date Table= CALENDAR(MIN('order'[date]),MAX('order'[date]))

 then if you generate relationship between Date Table[date] and order[date] by both direction, you can reach your target.

Hi @Anonymous ,

I'm a little confused about your needs, Could you please explain them further? It would be good to provide a screenshot of the results you are expecting and desensitized example data.

Thanks for your efforts & time in advance.

Hi @Anonymous , 

 

When creating standart date table by dax, we need to make some edition on it. Below code, I added two line codes apart from classic date tabe dax. Let me mark them with bold format.

First , I created "Selection" column in order to filter uneven day number, and I used "Mod" function. If Mod(number,2)=1 , it means number is uneven. 

 

Then, I filtered out this uneven day numbers like selection=1. 

 

I am adding final result of data as image at below. Please follow the day number column in the image, which is your target.

DAX DateTable =
var table1=ADDCOLUMNS (
    CALENDAR(DATE(2024,1,1), DATE(2024,12,31)),

    "Year", YEAR([Date]),
    "Quarter", "Q" & FORMAT(CEILING(MONTH([Date])/3, 1), "#"),
    "Quarter No", CEILING(MONTH([Date])/3, 1),
    "Month No", MONTH([Date]),
    "Month Name", FORMAT([Date], "MMMM"),
    "Month Short Name", FORMAT([Date], "MMM"),
    "Month Short Name Plus Year", FORMAT([Date], "MMM,yy"),
    "DateSort", FORMAT([Date], "yyyyMMdd"),
    "Day Name", FORMAT([Date], "dddd"),
    "Details", FORMAT([Date], "dd-MMM-yyyy"),
    "Day Number", DAY ( [Date] ),
    "Selection",MOD(DAY ( [Date] ),2)
)
var table2 = CALCULATETABLE(table1,FILTER(table1,[Selection]=1))
return table2
