Date formating

Hello

 

I have data table with Date column in format "20200831" <- today.
I created a Date hierarchy table but I need to add a measure so it would show the date in the same way as in my Date column in data table so I could make a relationship between them. 

  • you can create a column in date table and join it with your data table.

     

    DtKey = FORMAT('Table'[Dt],"YYYYMMDD")

     

     

  • Hi Anonymous ,

     

    You need to add calculated column: 

    Date Formatted = Format('Table (2)'[Date], "YYYYMMDD")

  • Anonymous , you can create this format in date using

     

    Day key = format([Date],"YYYYMMDD")

    Day key = year([Date])*10000 + month([Date])*100 +day([Date])

     

    Or you can create date from this format

     

    date = date(left([Day key],4) , mid([Day key],5,2), right([Day key],2))
