Hello, I'm completely new to Power Bi.
I have a column that should display the years in date format, however, they are in integer format.
When I try to change the column type to date, the year 2011 is changed to 3 July 1905.
How do I solve this problem? Because I need to create some measures using date formulas.
It depends. You can use the DATE(year, month, day) to convert integers to a date. Take a look at the docs here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/date-function-dax
I would recommend converting the integers to a date in Power Query, rather than doing it through DAX if possible though.
This is your chance to engage directly with the engineering team behind Fabric and Power BI. Share your experiences and shape the future.
