Dateformat
Hello everyone, Can anyone help me to convert this text column into a date column? The text value looks like this 15-FEB-20 11.00.00.000000 PM.
Hi Anonymous
if you need exactly DAX, not M formula use:
a. for only date
ColumnDate = DATEVALUE(FORMAT(LEFT([Columntext],9),"General Date"))b. for the datetime column
ColumnDateTime = var _date = DATEVALUE(FORMAT(LEFT([Columntext],9),"General Date")) var _time = TIMEVALUE(SUBSTITUTE(RIGHT([Columntext],LEN([Columntext])-10),".000000", "")) RETURN _date + _time

RETURN
_date + _timeWhen i try to run the formula i get this error:
"Cannot convert value '' of type Text to type Date."Do you have any solution for this?

do you have empty cells with data? if so, how do you want to calculate it? what date it should return?
I have a column with date values like this one: "15-FEB-20 11.00.00.000000 PM." but they are formated as text and not date/time. I want to format the column from text to date/time.
