Create Dates List from Non-Continuous Dates Column

[Anonymous]

Hello There,

I seek your assistance please guys.

I’ve a column of dates, they are not continuous dates, so, if I want to create a custom column of a list of dates that starts from the oldest date in the column Dates till the most recent date in the column Dates, how could I do that?

The current data set is just one column called Dates.

The cleanest way (rather, the way I like to do it) is to get the Min Date and Max Date as two separate values in two separate queries. Then turn them into numbers. Then make a list starting at first number and ending at last number. Finally, use Date.From to transform the list.

let

MaxDate = Number.From(List.Max(Table[DateColumn])),

MinDate =Number.From(List.Min(Table[DateColumn])),

DateList = List.Transform({MinDate..MaxDate}, Date.From)

Or if you need a dax method which is also simple. lets say if you have a Table[date] column is continuous.

You can just create a table.

Calendar = CALENDAR(MIN('Table'[Date]),MAX('Table'[Date]))
