How to count the number of each day of week within a certain date range without a DateTable?

Hi !

I have a new problem, my boss wants me to count the number of monday/... during the last 30days... I've try a lot of things but I'm still in trouble with that because I've find solutions with a DateTable and I can't use that...

Is there anyone with an idea?

 

Thx 🙂

@Squalleh  why can't you use a date table?  that would be the easier to to do

 

it would be a simple measure

no of mondays in last 30 days  =

CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( date ),
FILTER (
date,
DATESBETWEEN ( date[date], DATEADD ( date[date], -30, DAY ), date[date] )
&& dayofweek = "monday"
)
)
