Hi guys, for some reason my files consist of order dates in the form of a whole number such as this 200910 If converted correctly, it should read as 2020 - 09 - 10 or September 10th 2020.
The problem is I have trouble converting this into a date. Any suggestions of how to do so easily in dax?
@cdawidow , My advice would be covert it into date column like
Column
Date = date(quotient([order dates],100), Mod([order dates],100),1) //whole number
Date = date(left([order dates],2), right([order dates],2),1) // text
you can use the format from the column menu. Or format function to get desired format
@cdawidow - Try:
Date Column =
MID([Column],3,2) & "/" & RIGHT([Column],2) & "/" & LEFT([Column],2)
then convert that to a date.
