Hi Team,
Can you help in creating a calendar table which has all the dates but few dates per month are marked based on the below conditions -
1. Microsoft Patch released (2nd Tuesday of every month)
2. Non-prod servers patching Starts on Thursday (after the 2nd Tuesday of the month) at 8 PM PST.
3. Work stations patching for UAT Machines starts on Friday (after the 2nd Tuesday of the month) at 1 PM CT.
4. Prod servers patching starts on Friday (after the 3rd Tuesday of the month) at 8 PM PST.
5. Work stations production patching starts on Friday (after the 3rd Tuesday of the month) at 6 PM CT
6. Freeze Period (25th Dec-30th Dec)
The table would look someting like this -

Hi @Apssawhney ,
How do you get this?
Date Activity 21/01/2021 Prod servers patching/Work stations production patching 22/01/2021 Prod servers patching/Work stations production patching 23/01/2021 Prod servers patching/Work stations production patching
When I create column based on your logic, the result is like below:
DAX:
Activity =

WEEKNUM ( [Date], 2 )
VAR StartofMonthWeek_ =
WEEKNUM ( STARTOFMONTH ( 'Calendar (DAX)'[Date] ), 2 )
VAR MonthWeek_ = YearWeek_ - StartofMonthWeek_ + 1
VAR WeekDay_ =
WEEKDAY ( [Date], 2 )
VAR Month_ =
MONTH ( [Date] )
VAR Day_ =
DAY ( [Date] )
RETURN
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
MonthWeek_ = 2
&& WeekDay_ = 2, "Microsoft Patch released",

&& WeekDay_ = 4, "Non-prod servers patching",
MonthWeek_ = 2
&& WeekDay_ = 5, "Work stations patching for UAT Machines",
MonthWeek_ = 3
&& WeekDay_ = 5, "Prod servers patching / Work stations production patching",
Month_ = 12
&& Day_ >= 25
&& Day_ <= 30, "Freeze Period"
)
M:
let
StartDate = #date(2021,1,1),
EndDate = #date(2021,12,31),
DayCount = Duration.Days(Duration.From( EndDate - StartDate )),
Source = List.Dates(StartDate,DayCount,#duration(1,0,0,0)),
TableFromList = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing()),
ChangedType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(TableFromList,{{"Column1", type date}}),
RenamedColumns = Table.RenameColumns(ChangedType,{{"Column1", "Date"}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(RenamedColumns, "Activity", each let
MonthWeek_ = Date.WeekOfMonth ([Date],1),
WeekDay_ = Date.DayOfWeek ( [Date], 2 ),
Month_ = Date.Month([Date]),
Day_ = Date.DayOfWeek([Date],1)
