[Power BI] 💡 Creating a Calendar Table in the Power Query Editor 📅

Having a dedicated Date or Calendar table in your data model is crucial for most of our reporting in Power BI, but many people struggle with understanding how they can create a date table or even with where they can get a date table from.
In this video, Jonothan walks you through 4 easy steps of how to leverage M and create a date table in the Power Query Editor. Don’t worry, he doesn’t just stop there… he also explains some of the different methods we can use to add additional columns, like month name, month number, and quarter.

    Great one! Thanks. How can it be integrated with working days and scheduled holidays if, for example, I want to count only working days between dates? Thanks in advance.

    Hi Yuri, there are a few ways we can count the working days between dates - either using M in the Power Query Editor or with DAX and both ways require a bit of work to accomplish. You can email me at jsilva@pragmaticworks.com directly and I can try to get you in the right direction from there if you would like.

    Can you show how to add column with weeknumbering in the same formatting style as in Oracle with TO_CHAR('IW') (according to ISO-standard).

    Hi, I was trying to mimic what you were doing and got stuck in minute 6:17. I typed exactly the same formula but it shows me the "Token RightParen expected" error. When I click "show error" it highlights 2 letters in a word Number of the second formula "be". Do you have any idea how to fix this?

    Hello 👋 maybe you could help me about other topic but related to date as well. Problem : For my End date, I want to get the end of the month (date format) of my previous month as of today end of month local now values. Would this be possible? Example; Today EOM: Feb 28, 2022 Goal Prev EOM: Jan 31, 2022 Hope you can help me resolve this one. Many thanks 😊

    Assume final step would be to add the table to the data model?

    Thanks. What are differences between creating date table using M code and DAX?

  • @Jonathon_Silva

    Hi Zula, the major difference between building a calendar or data table using M and DAX is that the M language in the Power Query Editor provides better overall compression for the data model. Typically, we suggest doing as much as possible in the Power Query Editor when building the data model, then you can add to that model, using DAX, where you need to do any additional analysis calculations.

    I read this line in the dax manual by Microsoft and I don't get it. they practically mention it for every dax function. "This function is not supported for use in DirectQuery mode when used in calculated columns or row-level security (RLS) rules."

    DirectQuery is fairly limited on the number of transformations you can do with the data.

    Your end date is fixed; how do we get the end date to grow? What if I wanted the end date to be 2 weeks after current date?

  • @Jonathon_Silva

    @Jonathon_Silva

    For the end date try the following: Date.AddYears(Date.EndOfYear(DateTime.Date(DateTime.FixedLocalNow())),1) to have a dynamic end period in the calendar. In this case it takes the end date to be one year from the current date.
