How to calculate total number as month and years

Hello any experts,

 

[Urgent] Does any one know how to convert total number of month to year and month. My column "Month" as experience(time)

For example, I want to convert Months equal to 61 to become 5 Year 1 Month. I tried a lot of method such as quotient, those date/format function is not suitable and working. Month = QUOTIENT([month],365) & " Year " & QUOTIENT(MOD([month],365),30) & " Month "

Hi,

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but I tried to create a sample pbix file like below.

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

It is for creating a new column.

Years and Months CC =
VAR _year =
    ROUNDDOWN ( DIVIDE ( 'Month'[Month], 12 ), 0 )
RETURN
    IF (
        _year <> 0,
        _year & "Year "
            & MOD ( 'Month'[Month], 12 ) & "Month",
        MOD ( 'Month'[Month], 12 ) & "Month"
    )
