Hi All,
I'm using the below code to get the Time Dim.
But my the dates are getting more than what we are(>current date/today).
can any one suggest how we can fine tune the below code so that it shoud not exceed the current year(It shoud be dynamic).
Logic:
let
StartDate = #date(2017,04,01),
YearsToGenerate=20,
BaseList=List.Dates( StartDate,
YearsToGenerate*366,
#duration(1,0,0,0)
),
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(BaseList, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error)
in
#"Converted to Table"
Thanks,
Anand
Solved! Go to Solution.
@AnandNamburi Try this code
let
StartDate = #date(2017,04,01),
Today = Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),
GetDateCount = Duration.Days(Today - StartDate) + 1,
BaseList=List.Dates( StartDate,
GetDateCount,
#duration(1,0,0,0)
),
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(BaseList, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error)
in
#"Converted to Table"

@AnandNamburi , I think you can use this in place of days you are giving in List.Dates
Duration.Days(DateTime.LocalNow() - [StartDate])
