The syntax for 1. is incorrect

Calendar Table =
VAR BaseCalendar =
CALENDAR(DATE(2014, 1, 1); DATE(2018,12,31))
RETURN
GENERATE (
BaseCalendar;
VAR BaseDate = [Date]
VAR YearDate = YEAR(BaseDate)
VAR MonthNumber = Month (BaseDate)
VAR YearMonthNumber = YearDate * 12 + MonthNumber -1
VAR QTR = CONCATENATE("Q";RoundUP(MONTH([Date])/3,0))
"Year"; YearDate;
"Month Number"; MonthNumber
"Month"; FORMAT (BaseDate "mm yy");
"QTR"; QTR
)

Hi @Anonymous ,

Maybe you can try the following formula, I think it is simpler:

Calendar Table =
ADDCOLUMNS (
    CALENDAR ( DATE ( 2014, 1, 1 ), DATE ( 2018, 12, 31 ) ),
    "Year", YEAR ( [Date] ),
    "Month Number", MONTH ( [Date] ),
    "Month", FORMAT ( [Date], "mm yy" ),
    "QTR", CONCATENATE ( "Q", ROUNDUP ( MONTH ( [Date] ) / 3, 0 ) )
)

Here is a demo, please try it:

@Anonymous you have missing ; after month number and also in Format function, not sure if it is typo

I Corrected replacing , for ; and also in the FORMAT... It's still not correct T_T

Calendar Table =
VAR BaseCalendar =
CALENDAR(DATE(2014; 1; 1); DATE(2018;12;31))
RETURN
GENERATE (
BaseCalendar;
VAR BaseDate = [Date]
VAR YearDate = YEAR(BaseDate)
VAR MonthNumber = Month (BaseDate)
VAR YearMonthNumber = YearDate * 12 + MonthNumber -1
VAR QTR = CONCATENATE("Q";RoundUP(MONTH([Date])/3,0)
"Year"; YearDate;
"Month Number"; MonthNumber
"Month"; FORMAT (BaseDate, "mm yy");
"QTR"; QTR
)

 

Something is wrong with the underlined i guess
