I want a date column in the presentation layer in the format of 2018-1-1, 2018-1-2,etc

May be this

let vMin = num(Today());

let vMax = num(Today()+30);

Calendar:

load date($(vMin)+RowNo()-1) as Date

AutoGenerate($(vMax)-$(vMin));

How should he table containing the date column be associated with the rest of the data model?
