Scaffold Date in Power Bi
I posted a similar questin before but now I now the solution is to create a scaffolded data set but still don't know how to do it in Power Bi.
Can anyone help with the query below:
I want to be create a graph that shows open or active cases in a point of time.
I two tables: Cases and Master Date.
Cases have the following important fields:
Opened date – the date that a case was opened
Close date – the date that a case was closed
Master Date table has dates from 1/1/2019 until 31/12/2025. It is like a reference table.
This table is not related to my main table in any way.
I want to create a new column to define the relationship between the two and in the process create a new column which will give me many rows of data for each row to tell me the Active Date
e.g.
Case Ref | Open Date | Close Date | Active Date |
A | 12/03/2019 | 16/03/2019 | 12/03/2019 |
|
|
| 13/03/2019 |
|
|
| 14/03/2019 |
|
|
| 15/03/2019 |
|
|
| 16/03/2019 |
B | 12/03/2019 | 15/03/2019 | 12/03/2019 |
|
|
| 13/03/2019 |
|
|
| 14/03/2019 |
|
|
| 15/03/2019 |
C | 13/03/2019 | 15/03/2019 | 13/03/2019 |
|
|
| 14/03/2019 |
|
|
| 15/03/2019 |
I expect the expression is something like this
IF
Master Date [Date] >= Cases[Open On]
AND
Master Date [Date] <= Cases[Close Date] (And if Close Date is Null make it Today)
THEN
SET Active Date to Master Date??

There's a DAX solution, a Power Query solution and a pbix to look at.
It's a slightly different case to yours but you should get all the info you need
