Convert from DAX to M

[Anonymous]

Hi, I have a dynamic calendar table created in DAX and wonder if this is possible to have in M?

Period Check =

var this_year = YEAR(TODAY())

var this_month = MONTH(TODAY())

var this_day = DAY(TODAY())

return

{

DATE(this_year, this_month, this_day-2),

DATE(this_year, this_month, this_day-9),

DATE(this_year, this_month, this_day-16),

DATE(this_year, this_month, this_day-23)

}

Hello@Anonymous 

there are for sure multiple ways to create this table. Here one simple approach

let
    Today = Date.From(DateTime.FixedLocalNow()),
    CreateCalendareList = {Date.AddDays(Today, -2), Date.AddDays(Today, -9), Date.AddDays(Today, -16), Date.AddDays(Today, -23)},
    ConvertListToTable = Table.FromList(CreateCalendareList, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
    ChangeType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(ConvertListToTable,{{"Column1", type date}}),
    RenameColumn = Table.RenameColumns(ChangeType,{{"Column1", "Date"}})
in
    RenameColumn

Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.
