Increment column every 1st and 15th of the month

Hi,

 

I have created a date table and now I want a column that returns a number incremented by 1 every 1st and 15th of the month.

 

Here is an example:

2023-12-12

   1

2023-12-13   1
2023-12-14   1
2023-12-15   2
2023-12-16   2
2023-12-17   2

 

Any idea on how to achieve this? Thanks !

@Whoule Try this:

Column = 
  VAR __Date = [Date]
  VAR __Day = DAY( [Date] )
  VAR __Table = FILTER( 'Table', [Date] <= __Date && ( DAY( [Date] ) = 1 || DAY( [Date] = 15 ) )
  VAR __Result = COUNTROWS( __Table )
RETURN
  __Result

Hi @Ahmedx,

This doesn't work as some months have 31 days so after one month dividing by 15 doesnt work anymore.

pls try again

Still doesn't work. The ID needs to change not every 15 days but only on the 1st and 15th of each month.

where there are 31 days or 29 what to do
