My Date Dimension table is excluding today's date!

[Anonymous]

In Power Query I have appended my data tables, kept the date columns, merged them into a single column and de-duplicated it - keeping a list of all the dates in my data. This table is called 'Date'. It happens to include data from today.

Next, I created a date list using the MIN and MAX of the 'Date' table, and this list contains every single day between the min and max dates in my dataset. 

However, the m query I stole from a website seems to remove today's date (or the max date in the 'Date' table), and whenever I play with the code, it breaks my list. 

Below is my code, can you please help me include todays date? (or - the max date in the 'date' table - not sure which is causing the issue)

= List.Dates(List.Min(Date[DATE]),Duration.Days(List.Max(Date[DATE])-List.Min(Date[DATE])),#duration(1,0,0,0))

You need to add 1 to the second parameter...

= List.Dates(List.Min(Date[DATE]),Duration.Days(List.Max(Date[DATE])-List.Min(Date[DATE])+1),#duration(1,0,0,0))

Hi @bcdobbs THANK YOU!! I had to make a minor amendment to your code, but this works! 😁

= List.Dates(List.Min(Date[DATE]),Duration.Days(List.Max(Date[DATE])-List.Min(Date[DATE]))+1,#duration(1,0,0,0))

Glad it works, sorry for clumsy thumbs on a phone!

Take simple case:

3rd Jan - 2nd Jan = 1 because it compares both at midnight.

You then start a day list starting on 2nd Jan with 1 day in it so you only get 2nd Jan.
