Using a date table to create a monthly P&L based on various tables?

Hi all,

 

I'm working with an online painting services company and have built our data model with various tables. I want to create a table in PowerBI that shows our monthly revenue and breakdown of costs, such as in the Excel example below (with fake numbers).

I have tables for each of the line items in my data model (e.g. a table marketingCosts, salaryPayments, allocatedRevenue, etc). These tables each contain one or more date columns. I now want to create a table like the one in the example above, but am not sure how to link the columns from different tables to each other using the same date.

 

I read up on date tables and that seems to be the way forward - can someone explain me how they would approach this situation?

 

Thanks Smiley Happy

Each of the lines would be pulled from a different table
