Hi @Odada  ,

Try this

 

List.Dates([Targetdate] ,Number.From([EndTargetdate]-[Targetdate])+1,#duration(1,0,0,0))

@Odada ,

create a column subtracting the two dates you want to find the range between by selecting both columns and "From Date& Time" -> Date -> Subtract Days.

 

Then create a custom column using:

 

List.Dates({startdate, subtraction, #duration(0,0,0,1)})

Please accept this as the solution if this resolves your question.

 

Appreciate a thumbs up if this is helpful.
