Hello Guys

I have a Calendar Table and i would like to add a collumn which contains all public holidays.

Is there some script which i can use to generate it?

You can find a list with more than 10 sources of public holidays all over the world in the post below. The list also contains some DimDate tables very detailed, especially for USA holidays.

Hi @avioti,

Current power bi not contains any script to auto generate the holiday calendar table.

You should get a holiday list first, for example:

1. Find out a public holiday list from web, import it to power bi.

2. Create a calendar table and build the relationship.

DateTable = ADDCOLUMNS(CALENDAR(DATE(2015,1,1),TODAY()),"Year",FORMAT([Date],"yyyy"),"Month",FORMAT([Date],"mmmm"),"Quarter",FORMAT([Date],"q"),"Week",WEEKNUM([Date],1),"Day Of Week",FORMAT([Date],"dddd"))

3. Add calculated column to check relationship.(holiday = normal holiday + public holiday)

Holiday Tag = IF(ISBLANK(RELATED(Holiday[Federal holiday]))=FALSE(),RELATED(Holiday[Federal holiday]),if([Day Of Week]="Saturday"||[Day Of Week]="Sunday",[Day Of Week],BLANK()))

BTW, you can also share your requirement to ideas.

Hi, you might take a look here if you need to do it with Power Query instead of dax. I put it here if someone has the same issue.  https://github.com/FotMac/powerquery-public-holidays-gr

I recommend just finding a web based source, based on your country, where you can pull in a table of dates that are holidays and then merge this with your existing date table.
