Convert date ranges e.g. 2021/22, 2022/23 etc

I receive budget and actual amounts with assigned date ranges e.g. 2021/22, 2022/23 etc in their own "Financial Year" column, I am very new to Power Query and BI and would love to know how to these assigned dates to an actual fiscal year range. My financial year runs April to March

    numMonths = Duration.Days(endDate - startDate),                     //get number of months
    dateList = List.Dates(startDate, numMonths, #duration(1,0,0,0)),    //generate a list of dates
    generateCalendar = List.Transform(
