DAX Month Format Function

Hi

I want to format the month with two digits by using the FORMAT function, but the result wasn't expected. 

 

 

DAX:  FORMAT ( 1 , "MM")  

Result:  12

 

The result I expected should be  01

You have to put in a [Date] instead of 1. Example:

=FORMAT(DATEVALUE("30.11.2023");"MM")

You will get 11 for the month-Number.

hi @Aggro 

 

try like:

FORMAT(1, "00")

 

you get 12, because DAX take 1 as 1899/12/31, so it returns 12
