M code, DAX, create a calendar.

Create a calendar in Power Query or using a DAX language.

example 1 > M code.


This calendar starts from 01. 01.2010 and the dates are increasing every day. The last available day is yesterday.


 

let


Source = List.Dates,

#"Invoke function" = Source(#date(2010, 01, 01), Duration.Days(DateTime.Date(DateTime.FixedLocalNow())- #date(2010, 01, 01)), #duration(1, 0, 0, 0)),

#"List to table" = Table.FromList(#"Invoke function", Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),

Date = Table.RenameColumns(#"List to table",{{"Column1", "Date"}}),

#"Day Added" = Table.AddColumn(Date, "DayNo", each Text.PadStart(Number.ToText(Date.Day([Date])),2,"0")),

#"Day Name Added" = Table.AddColumn(#"Day Added", "Day Name", each Date.ToText([Date],"ddd","en-US")),

#"Month No Added" = Table.AddColumn(#"Day Name Added", "Month No", each Date.Month([Date])),


#"Month Name Added" = Table.AddColumn(#"Month No Added", "Month Name", each Date.ToText([Date],"MMM","en-us")),


#"Quarter No Added" = Table.AddColumn(#"Month Name Added", "Quarter No", each Date.QuarterOfYear([Date])),


#"EUROPEAN Week No added" = Table.AddColumn(#"Quarter No Added", "WeekNo", each Text.PadStart(Number.ToText(Date.WeekOfYear([Date])+1),2,"0")),


#"Year Added" = Table.AddColumn(#"EUROPEAN Week No added", "Year", each Date.Year([Date])),


#"Year Month Added" = Table.AddColumn(#"Year Added", "Year-Month", each Number.ToText([Year])&"-"&[Month Name]),

#"Year Week Added" = Table.AddColumn(#"Year Month Added", "Year-Week", each Number.ToText([Year])&"-"&[WeekNo]),


#"Year Quarter Added" = Table.AddColumn(#"Year Week Added", "Year-Quarter", each Number.ToText([Year]) & "Q"& Number.ToText([Quarter No],"00")),


#"Change type to text" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Year Quarter Added",{{"Year", Int64.Type}, {"Date", type date}, {"Month No", Int64.Type}, {"Day Name", type text}, {"Month Name", type text}, {"Quarter No", Int64.Type}, {"Year-Quarter", type text}, {"Year-Month", type text}, {"WeekNo", Int64.Type}, {"DayNo", type text}, {"Year-Week", type text}}),


#"Sort DayName" = Table.AddColumn(#"Change type to text", "SortDayName", each Date.DayOfWeek([Date],1)),


#"Sort YearMonth" = Table.AddColumn(#"Sort DayName", "SortYearMonth", each Number.ToText([Year])&Text.PadStart(Number.ToText([Month No]),2,"0")),

#"Sort YearWeek" = Table.AddColumn(#"Sort YearMonth", "Sort YearWeek", each Number.ToText([Year])&Text.PadStart(Number.ToText([WeekNo]),2,"0")),


#"Sort YearQuarter" = Table.AddColumn(#"Sort YearWeek", "SortYearQuarter", each Number.ToText([Year])&Text.PadStart(Number.ToText([Quarter No]),2,"0")),


#"Changed Type to NO" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Sort YearQuarter",{{"SortYearMonth", Int64.Type}, {"SortYearQuarter", Int64.Type}, {"SortDayName", Int64.Type}, {"Sort YearWeek", Int64.Type}, {"Year-Week", type text}})

in

#"Changed Type to NO"




Example 2 > DAX, as a new table


this calendar starts at 01.January 2017 and ends at the current system date.


DimCalendar 1 = GENERATE ( CALENDAR ( DATE ( 2017, 1, 1 ), TODAY() ), VAR currentDay = [Date] VAR day = DAY( currentDay ) VAR month = MONTH ( currentDay ) VAR year = YEAR ( currentDay ) RETURN ROW ( "day", day, "month", month, "year", year ) )


Example 3 > DAX, as a new table


DimCalendar 1 = GENERATE ( CALENDAR( DATE( YEAR( TODAY() ) - 2, MONTH( TODAY() ), DAY( TODAY()) ), TODAY()), VAR startOfWeek = 1 // Where 1 is Sunday and 7 is Saturday, thus a 3 would be Tuesday VAR currentDay = [Date] VAR days = DAY( currentDay ) VAR months = MONTH ( currentDay ) VAR years = YEAR ( currentDay ) VAR nowYear = YEAR( TODAY() ) VAR nowMonth = MONTH( TODAY() ) VAR dayIndex = DATEDIFF( currentDay, TODAY(), DAY) * -1 VAR todayNum = WEEKDAY( TODAY() ) VAR weekIndex = INT( ROUNDDOWN( ( dayIndex + -1 * IF( todayNum + startOfWeek <= 6, todayNum + startOfWeek, todayNum + startOfWeek - 7 )) / 7, 0 ) ) RETURN ROW ( "day", days, "month", months, "year", years, "day index", dayIndex, "week index", weekIndex, "month index", INT( (years - nowYear ) * 12 + months - nowMonth ), "year index", INT( years - nowYear )))
