Format Date which is a string / Using a View
Hello,
I have a Date column which is a String . I would like to generate a new column, that shows me the last n days. Therefore I need to convert my Column in a date
Im using this code:
Column_NewDate = FORMAT(PIVOT_TABLE[DATES];"DD.MM.YYYY")
I get a new column but as soon I create a new column for the last n days, i get a error msg.
Im using following code:
IF(DATEDIFF(PIVOT_TABLE[Column_NewDate ],TODAY(),DAY)>=7, "Yes", "No")
I get the Error Msg that I can not convert "23.10.2017" of Type "Text" into Date
I dont know what Iam doing wrong. Is it maybe because Iam using a View?
Use SUBSTITUTE to replace your "." with "/" before you try DATEVALUE.

Look at the DATEVALUE function. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/query-bi/dax/datevalue-function-dax
I get the same Error Msg "You cant convert text to date"
I tried following Code:
Test = DATEVALUE(PIVOT_TABLE[DATES])
Maybe I should mention that my text date looks like this: DD.MM.YYYY
