Loop in Power Query to get date

Hi,

Basically I have a weekly plan through a whole month, the table may like this:

Mage_0-1725959128284.png

The plan will be handled from 1st weekday(Start Day) to 4rd weekday(End Day) each week, I want to transform them to concrete Start Dates and End Dates in the table by creating custom columns. The expected output may like:

Mage_1-1725959145526.png

How can I arrive it in Power Query instead of using DAX, perhaps it needs to be loopped but it confused me a lot.

 

Regards

Hi @Mage 

Start Date

Date.AddDays(Date.StartOfWeek([Date],0),[Start Day])

End Date

Date.AddDays(Date.StartOfWeek([Date],0),[End Day])

You do not need loop in this case, and you can easily solve it bu using the next code

 

let
    Source = Table.FromColumns({List.Dates(#date(2024,7,1),31,#duration(1,0,0,0))},{"Date"}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Start Date", each Date.StartOfWeek([Date])),
    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "End Date", each Date.StartOfWeek([Date])+#duration(3,0,0,0))
in
    #"Added Custom1"

 

in another casaes, if you need loop, check this video
