Hi
I am looking to get the month number and the year when referening a date field
However, when trying to use Month() or Format () it doesnt allow me to use the Date field
I want to get the month number and year from the data column - which will allow me to create a reference of Year * 12 + month number
Any Suggestions ?
| customer | due-date | Month Number | Year | Reference | Calculation |
| 1001 | 28/02/2023 | 2 | 2023 | 24278 | =(D2*12)+C2 |
| 1001 | 31/03/2023 | 3 | 2023 | 24279 | |
| 1001 | 31/03/2022 | 3 | 2022 | 24267 | |
| 1001 | 30/04/2022 | 4 | 2022 | 24268 | |
| 1001 | 30/06/2022 | 6 | 2022 | 24270 | |
| 1001 | 31/08/2022 | 8 | 2022 | 24272 |
Thank you
I regularly use the following DAX from SQLBI to create a Date Table. Highlighted in the code are the 2 items you are looking for:
- Year
- Month Number
Hope this is helpful to you.
Regards,
Nathan
