Learn how to streamline time-based analysis by building a reusable date table in Power Query. In this Data Survival Skills session, Robin starts with a blank query and uses a custom function to generate a continuous range of dates. She then normalizes the table by adding key attributes such as month name, month number, weekday, week of year, and end-of-month. You’ll also see how to copy the advanced editor code into any workbook, making the date table easy to reuse across multiple projects. Finally, Robin connects the date table to sales data, instantly enriching reports with fields like order month, week number, and day name—without writing extra formulas. This approach reduces repetition, ensures consistency, and gives analysts a powerful foundation for reporting and trend analysis.
