Hello all,
I am trying to extract the month name from a date column and its displaying same as the date.
Here is the code I am using:
DateTimeMonthYear= ADDCOLUMNS(SELECTCOLUMNS(Morale & Workload List,"Date",'Morale & Workload List [Completion time]),"Month", MONTH([Date]),"Month Name", FORMAT([Date], "mmmm"), "Year",Year([Date]))
The issue is for the Month Name column its display same as the date/time i.e. YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS AM/PM
I don't understand why it's not extracting the Month name, can anyone help ?
Thank you.
I just checked the Completion time field with the Date/Time and the format was Text, not Date/Time. As soon as I changed this, its now showing the Month.
@Omar_204 That would certainly cause problems!! 🙂
That's exactly what I am using the same code, so howcome it works here but not on mine. Could it be something to do with the sharepoint list ?
Hello,
Sorry, thats what I have it uses single quotes but still displays the date and time not the Month
@Omar_204 Your syntax looks correct except for not having single quotes around your table name references. I recreated just fine in a PBIX attached below sig.
