@KatkaS ,

 

Yes, you need a separated table and relate it to your table.

You can use the function CALENDAR to get the min/max dates from your table and create it.

Hi @KatkaS ,

 

It will work if you have a continous date table.

Check these links:

Thank you, Ricardo.

Do you mean in the table itself..? Or in a separate table and then make a relationship between two excels?

 

Thank you..
