how to transform month and years as numbers to exploitable periods

Hello,

I have data with year and month in separate columns in number format, I would like to exploit those rather than the invoicing date field (for sales cutoff consideration).

How can this be achieved  ?

 

I have tried a solution I found suggested in this topice Solved: Converting from Month Name and Year to Date - Microsoft Power BI Community  which is to create these 2 additional columns:

MonthNum = SWITCH([Month],"January",1,"February",2,"March",3)

Date = EOMONTH(DATE([Year],[MonthNum],1),0)

But I have the following result

So I have changed my year and month columns from number to text format but that didn't make adifference.

 

Can you please help ?

 

thank you

Hi , @debutant 

According to your dax , i think there is no problem. 

This is my test dax:

Column = EOMONTH( DATE([Year],[Month],1) ,  0)

The result is as follows:

If this method does not meet your needs, you can provide us with your special sample data and the desired output sample data in the form of tables, so that we can better help you solve the problem.

Hi

 

I think the most simple is to create a date table with date, month year etc..; and link it to your fact table
