Hello, 

 

You could generate a row with the dates and then union the two tables. 

To generate a row with dates that increase by 1 day after 6 days, I would probably do the following:

Start with a text input with the first date you want to start with:

Then generate rows to match the number of columns you need:

Please note that I started with 0 rather than 1 since I will use this value for the formula. 

I then updated the date field with a formula that uses the row count to determine how many days we should add: 

datetimeadd([Date],floor([RowCount]/6),'days')

 

I then used a cross tab to turn the date column into a row:
