Date Table

 

HI,

 

Is it possible to create a Date Table in Power Query or Dax that updates/creates a new record each day?

 

I have seen solutions where you need to hardcode the start and end date. Is there a way to do this without hardcoding an end date and just let it dynamical update each day?

 

Thanks,

Boycie92

Hi @Boycie92 

Please correct me if I wrongly understood your question.

You can use the current date as the end date .In this way you dont have to specify the end time, because the current time is dynamic .

For example:

I want to sum the total sales of the last month .I create a measure like this:

last month = CALCULATE(sum('Sales'[sales]),FILTER(' Sales ',' Sales '[Date]<=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY()))

&& ' Sales '[Date]>=EDATE(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY())),-1)))

 

DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY())) is return the current date .

 

Best Regards
