Sure: you add a column with list of those dates like so:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSUTIw1Dew0DcyMLQAcYzhnFidaCUnkJA5kryhOYq8M1DICFm/MYITGwsA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Task Name" = _t, Start = _t, End = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Task Name", type text}, {"Start", type date}, {"End", type date}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each {Number.From([Start])..Number.From([End])}),
    #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom"),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Custom",{{"Custom", type date}})
in
    #"Changed Type1"
