Month from date field (To Create a reference field)

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 ?

    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.
