Create new table with one column that only consist of dates that exist in another table

Hi,

 

I am trying to create a new table in the data section of Power BI which only has 1 column called Date.

And this Date will only consist of dates from another main table which consist of several random dates. 

May I know how do I do this?

Below is an illustration of what I'm trying to achieve:-

 

Main table

SalesAmountDate
Apple5002 March 2017
Orange10030 June 2018
Watermelon2030 June 2018

 

 

Create a new table that looks like this and contains only these 2 unique dates:

 

Date
02 March 2017
30 June 2018

 

I did try using this DAX: 

Date =
RELATED(Main Table[Date])

but the error message says The column 'Main Table[Date]' either doesn't exist or doesn't have a relationship to any table available in the current context.

So when I tried to form a relationship between Main Table and New Table using One to One cardiniality, the error message says the cardiniality you selected isn't valid for this relationship.

Calendar Table= DISTINCT(SELECTCOLUMNS(Main_Table,"Date",Main Table[Date]))

Hope this helps!
