create date value for each row in a table
Hello,
I have a table in the below format:
| Name | Value |
| A | 36000 |
| B | 48000 |
I would like to create a new date column using Power Query giving me an end result like this:
| Name | Value | Date |
| A | 36000 | 01/01/2021 |
| A | 36000 | 01/02/2021 |
| A | 36000 | 01/03/2021 |
.... and so on for each of the months in 2021 and for each of the 'Name'
How do I achieve this on Power Query?
Thanks for your support.
Create a new Blank Query with
= List.Dates(#date(2021,01,01), 365, #duration(1,0,0,0))That will give you a list of dates. Give it a name.
Convert to table.
Change to date type.
Filter the dates with :
= Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each Date.Day([Column1]) = 1)
(substitute your step name and column name in that)
---
In the original table, Add a custom column (type # and the name of the query should autocomplete)
Then expand the column from the column header.
Good luck
Hello Zabeer
add a new column with this formula
List.Transform(List.Numbers(1,12), each #date(2021,_,1))and then expand the list-column to new rows. Here the complete example
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSUTI2MzAwUIrViVZyAvJMLMC8WAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Name = _t, Value = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Name", type text}, {"Value", Int64.Type}}), AddMonths = Table.AddColumn ( #"Changed Type", "MonthsList", each List.Transform(List.Numbers(1,12), each #date(2021,_,1)) ), #"Expanded MonthsList" = Table.ExpandListColumn(AddMonths, "MonthsList") in #"Expanded MonthsList"this transforms this
into this
Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.

JimmyHi Zabeer ,
If you also want to add each days of each months, please try this:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSUTI2MzAwUIrViVZyAvJMLMC8WAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Name = _t, Value = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Name", type text}, {"Value", Int64.Type}}), AddDays = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "DaysList", each let StartDate = #date(2021,01,01), EndDate = #date(2021,12,31), DurationDays = Duration.Days( EndDate-StartDate) in List.Dates(StartDate, DurationDays, #duration(1,0,0,0))), #"Expanded DaysList" = Table.ExpandListColumn(AddDays, "DaysList") in #"Expanded DaysList"Best Regards,
