In this video, we'll show you how to create a calendar or date table using the #DAX function to display the time dimension in your report!
Many so-called time-intelligence functions in #PowerBI let you make simple or complex time-related calculations. As the time dimension is present in practically every report, these functions are some of the most important in DAX. For these functions to be able to do their job, a calendar or date table is needed in the data model.

@@ZebraBI Hi, how can i display different datasets (not tables containing column but dataset containing table) in matrix/table visualization in power bi? 2. Can i filter different dataset using slicer ?

Calendar table is a key element in your model and you leverage all the goodness of the time intelligence functions.

Is there a way to restrict how many years are added to this table? I realize it's "automatic"...but I have some dates in my data (like birth dates) that cause this to create a calendar much larger than what is needed. I only need 2019-2022. I've seen other methods to create a calendar that allow those controls, but I like this method because its simple and clean.

@ZebraBI 2 года назад

Hi Jason, of course there is! Just replace the CALENDARAUTO() with CALENDAR(StartDate, EndDate) e.g.: You can define the StartDate and EndDate using DATE(YYYY, MM, DD) --> CALENDAR(DATE(2019, 1, 1), DATE(2022, 1, 31) Have a great day:)

@namangarg7875 2 года назад

Sir when i have applied Calender = ADDCOLUMNS(CALENDARAUTO(), "Year", YEAR([Date]), "Month no.", MONTH([Date]), "Month", FORMAT([Date],"mmmm"), "Day", FORMAT([Date],"dddd")) it is working fine.... but wen i applied Calender = ADDCOLUMNS(CALENDARAUTO(), "Year", YEAR([Date]), "Month no.", MONTH([Date]), "Month", FORMAT([Date],"mmmm"), "Quarter", FORMAT([Date])) it is showing the dates but in an unorganized manner...?

Hello, what is the best practice? Use the table calendar built in Dax or with Power Query?

@ZebraBI 3 года назад

Hi Damian. Good question. For beginners, it's easier to start with a DAX calendar. DAX calendar will work well in smaller data models, however, for serious projects, the calendar should be created in PowerQuery or even in your source database (e.g. a data warehouse). The reason for that is that DAX formulas are constantly triggered on a report, while PowerQuery transformations are only performed at the time of data refresh. Thus, in order to ensure better performance, it's better to create your calendar in PowerQuery. This is very important on large data models, but for small or mid-sized datasets, the difference is not significant.

Hi, Can i display different data sets (not tables) in matrix/table visualization in power bi?

@namangarg7875 2 года назад

Sir I have raw data in excel which is taken to Power Query for cleaning, in that sheet we have only one sheet attached in it, in which date is given, suppose i need to create a dedicated table of Calender in power query for those Date interval only which is mentioned in my raw excel file (Let say 01/01/2018 to 02/02/2019)...how to do that?

@mardithpascua8112 2 года назад

Thank you for this video!. I have a question, let's say I added this calendar table now, does it automatically populate the 2023 dates once I have 2023 dates in my data?

@ZebraBI 2 года назад

Hey Mardith Pascua, the answer is: absolutely! Since your calendar table is "active", the range of dates is calculated automatically based on data in the model. So when you import new data, the calendar table will also update.

@namangarg7875 2 года назад

sir i have applied the calenderauto fns, it is giving the right dates but return value is unorganised like 01/07/2018 is coming first and then 01/01/2018.... why??

@kaimorrissey6573 2 года назад

How would I add a column that displays half year to this table?

@SandraKravitz 2 года назад

Hi, Kai, just add "Half Year", YEAR([Date])&" HY "&ROUNDUP(MONTH([Date])/6,0) ) to the end of your Calendar DAX :)

@williamarthur4801 2 года назад

Good as far as CALADARAUTO, but i wanted to create date table from the ground up, not refer to a list of dates that already existed.

@ZebraBI 2 года назад

Hi william Arthur, there is also a DAX function called CALENDAR where you specify the start and end date of your calendar table, regardless any of other tables you may have. The measure you want to write is CALENDAR (, ) and it will return all dates between this range. You can also combine dates from two different tables, meaning you can take a minimum of one table and a maximum of another like CALENDAR (MINX (Sales, [Date]), MAXX (Forecast, [Date])). Thank you for your comment.
