  • Hi Anonymous,

    Based on my test, you could refer to below steps in query editor:

    Sample data:

    Selected the two columns and use the "Unpivot columns" function:

    Now you could get the merged columns.

    1. Click “Edit queries” to open Power Query editor

    2. Make sure your date columns are date (not date/time) format

    3.  Create a custom column

    4. Listofdays = { Number.From([From Date])..Number.From([ToDate])}

    5. Click OK

    6. Click the “diverging-arrow” icon next to “Date” and click “Expand to new rows”. Notice the addition of new rows.

    7. Change the column type to “Date”

    8.  Click “Close and Apply”

     

     

    Final Step Create Calculated

    List of days = CONCATENATEX(FILTER(ALL(Tab),Table[Emplyee ID]=EARLIER([Emplyee ID])),[Listofdays]," , ")

    [To Date] - [From Date]

     

    That will give you the number of days between the two dates.

      Yes but in my report i need to create a date filter that date contains all date's. Here am expecting the date as one new column it contains all dates which have that from date and to date.
