create new table from begin date, end date, transactionuid
- I have not taken online courses however, I have watched quite a few videos on https://www.sqlbi.com/, read a lot on https://www.daxpatterns.com/ and of course https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/query-bi/dax/dax-function-reference
- I've used a technique in Power Query the Query Editor in Power BI which may help you get started.
Using List.Transform:
List.Transform({Number.From([BeginDate])..Number.From([EndDate])},each Date.From(_))Starting from a simple table in the Power Query Editor:
Add Column:
Expand the Custom Column:
Gets you:
Remove [BeginDate] & [EndDate] will get you to what I believe is your desired outcome (to start in you journey):
HI DangerHog,
You can take a look at below link about expand date range with details records to new table:
Spread revenue across period based on start and end date, slice and dase this using different dates
After these steps, you can direct filter on detail date column to filter and group your records which different hierarchy levels.

Thanks for the reply.
I think I may just be too big of a newb to understand how that helps me.
1) what are the best online classes for learning DAX and how it works in Power BI?
2) Going back to the most basic concept of my problem. How would I take a table of begin dates, end dates and Uids and create a new table that would have a column of dates and a column of UIDs where each UID is repeated for each date in the range between begin and end.

Hi Chris,
is there a way, how i can get these lines, but only on level year and month? I do not need lines on daily.
Thank you!LindaK - I suppose you could try
List.Transform({Number.From([BeginDate])..Number.From([EndDate])},each Date.Month(_)) or List.Transform({Number.From([BeginDate])..Number.From([EndDate])},each Date.Year(_))
