SergeiBaklan i have a similar issue but my data is grouped ( by 5 days ), so if i add the data to a data model, although it lets me set up a measure as per your previous  reply. This disables the grouping.

With data model grouping is based on calculated columns. If to select, for example, group by month, Power Pivot automatically creates calculated column as

=FORMAT([Date], "MMM")

For grouping by dates parameters are disabled for such case, as for any other non-standard grouping. However, we may create such calculated column ourselves, like

=
VAR startDate =
    DATE ( 2022, 5, 6 )
VAR step = 5
VAR isInPeriod =
    MOD ( Table1[Date] - startDate, step )
VAR periodNo =
    INT ( ( Table1[Date] - startDate ) / step )
VAR startPeriod = startDate + step * periodNo
VAR endPeriod = startDate + step * ( periodNo + 1 ) - 1
RETURN
    FORMAT ( startPeriod, "yyyy-mm-dd" ) & " - "
        & FORMAT ( endPeriod, "yyyy-mm-dd" )

and use it in PivotTable.
