Code for creating date dimension table:

let
// Step 1: Find the earliest and latest dates from your main data table.
// IMPORTANT: Make sure "Fact_Transactions" matches the name of your fact query.
StartDate = Date.From(List.Min(Fact_Transactions[Date])),
EndDate = Date.From(List.Max(Fact_Transactions[Date])),

// Step 2: Calculate the total number of days needed for the calendar
DayCount = Duration.Days(EndDate - StartDate) + 1,

// Step 3: Generate a continuous list of dates from the start date
DateList = List.Dates(StartDate, DayCount, #duration(1, 0, 0, 0)),

// Step 4: Convert that list into a table with a column named "Date"
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(DateList, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Renamed to Date" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Converted to Table",{{"Column1", "Date"}}),
#"Changed to Date Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Renamed to Date",{{"Date", type date}}),

// Step 5: Add the columns from your image
#"Inserted Year" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed to Date Type", "Year", each Date.Year([Date]), Int64.Type),
#"Inserted Period" = Table.AddColumn(#"Inserted Year", "Period", each Date.Month([Date]), Int64.Type),
#"Inserted Month" = Table.AddColumn(#"Inserted Period", "Month", each Date.ToText([Date], "MMM"), type text)

in
#"Inserted Month"
