Dax query to create a calculated column date

[Haripinnoju]

Hi,

I have year and quarter columns, I need to create a calculated column from which I can get the date through this year and quarter columns, i.e., the date may be any either 1st of any month or in between the months.

Eg., Year 2022 quarter Q2 then date can be  04/05/2022 or 01/05/2022 etc.

I cannot use custom column.

Hi @Haripinnoju ,

Cannot use a calculated column to insert rows, the rows in the calculated column are the same as the rows in the table.

Consider creating a new table.

Table 2 = 
VAR _min_year =
    MIN ( 'Table'[Year] )
VAR _min_year_quarter =
    INT (
        RIGHT ( CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table'[Quarter] ), 'Table'[Year] = _min_year ), 1 )
    )
VAR _max_year =
    MIN ( 'Table'[Year] )
VAR _max_year_quarter =
    INT (
        RIGHT ( CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table'[Quarter] ), 'Table'[Year] = _min_year ), 1 )
    )
VAR _table =
    CALENDAR (
        DATE ( _min_year, 3 * _min_year_quarter - 2, 1 ),
        DATE ( _max_year, _max_year_quarter * 3, 1 )
    )
RETURN
    _table
