Linking Tables - dates
Hi, I have a master Date table, and I'm trying to link it to a number of other tables, all with Year and Month. The Year and Month columns in my other tables are stored as Text, which I think mi...
Hi,
In the Other Table, generate a genuine date from the Month and Year by using this formula
=1*("1/"&Table2[Month]&"/"&Table2[Year])
Format this new column as Date and give it a meaningful heading. Now create a relatioship from the Date column (that you just created with the formula above) of the Other Table to the Date column of your caalendar table.
Hope this helps.

Solution SageFormat the date column in master table with out time stamp. It is better to have a date column in other tables then you can play with the data.
Btw, one table should have unique values.

Hi Rocky,
The reason I have the time stamp is because the main table it's linked to is a list of Facebook posts, which are time stamped.
This table is linked to the main Date Table but I need the others linked too.
Any suggestions?
Also, how do I convert the dates in my other tables from text?
