Adding a seasons column to dates table based on month dates

Hi everyone,

 

I'm relatively new to PowerBI but thanks to this site my first reports are already working great.

Unfortunatly I couldn`t find any solution for this minor problem...

 

I'm generating my dates table like this:

 

 

Now I would like to add a Column that shows the coresponding "Season"

 

Seasons are starting on July, 01 every year and ending on June, 30 the year after

 

So for example:

July, 01 2017 - June, 30 2018 = Season 2017-2018

July, 01 2018 - June, 30 2019 = Season 2018-2019

July, 01 2019 - June, 30 2020 = Season 2019-2020

 

Thanks in advance for any help

    HI Benji_964 ,

     

    Try and create a Calculated Column.

     

    Season Year =
    VAR _season =
        IF (
            MONTH ( 'Dates'[Dates] ) <= 7,
            VALUE ( FORMAT ( 'Dates'[Dates], "YYYY" ) ),
            VALUE ( FORMAT ( 'Dates'[Dates], "YYYY" ) ) - 1
        )
    RETURN
        CONCATENATE ( "SEASON", CONCATENATE ( _season, CONCATENATE ( "/", _season + 1 ) ) )

      Hi Anonymous,

       

      thank you for your help and the fast reply.

      Your solution workes grate!

       

      Had to make only some minor changes.

      "<=6" instead of "<=7" and put the "-1" after the first instead of the second value.

       

      Here my solution:

       

      Brennjahr = 
      VAR _season =
          IF (
              MONTH ( 'Datumstabelle'[Date] ) <= 6,
              VALUE ( FORMAT ( 'Datumstabelle'[Date], "YYYY" ) ) -1,
              VALUE ( FORMAT ( 'Datumstabelle'[Date], "YYYY" ) )
          )
      RETURN
          CONCATENATE ( _season, CONCATENATE ( "-", _season + 1 ) ) 

       

      Thank you very much!
