Adding more syntax to the M Query

Hi, 

I found the following syntax which is working for me: 

let a=#date(Date.Year([Date_Min_Signed]),7,1),
b=#date(Date.Year([Date_Min_Signed])+1,6,30)
in if [Date_Min_Signed]>=a and [Date_Min_Signed]<=b then "FY"&Text.End(Number.ToText(Date.Year([Date_Min_Signed])),2) else "FY"&Text.End(Number.ToText(Date.Year([Date_Min_Signed])-1),2)

 

Using this formula, the output is:

DateFinancial Year
4/7/2023FY23
6/3/2023FY22

 

However I would like the output to be: 

DateFinancial Year
4/7/2023FY23-24
6/3/2023FY22-23

 

Can someone please help?

Hi, you simply need to append the second year in the format YY, which is always one year after the base year. With adjusted M codes below: 

 

let
    a = #date(Date.Year([Date_Min_Signed]), 7, 1),
    b = #date(Date.Year([Date_Min_Signed]) + 1, 6, 30),
    fyStartYear = if [Date_Min_Signed] >= a and [Date_Min_Signed] <= b then Date.Year([Date_Min_Signed]) else Date.Year([Date_Min_Signed]) - 1,
    fyEndYear = fyStartYear + 1,
    result = "FY" & Text.End(Text.From(fyStartYear), 2) & "-" & Text.End(Text.From(fyEndYear), 2)
in
    result

Hi @Marshmallow 

 

Please try the below M code:

let
a = #date(Date.Year([Date_Min_Signed]), 7, 1),
b = #date(Date.Year([Date_Min_Signed]) + 1, 6, 30),
fyStartYear = if [Date_Min_Signed] >= a and [Date_Min_Signed] <= b then Date.Year([Date_Min_Signed]) else Date.Year([Date_Min_Signed]) - 1,
fyEndYear = fyStartYear + 1,
result = "FY" & Text.End(Text.From(fyStartYear), 2) & "-" & Text.End(Text.From(fyEndYear), 2)
in
result

Hi,

Just in case you prefer a DAX solution, write this calculated column formula in the Calendar table

FY = if(month(Calendar[date])>=7,"FY"&right(year(calendar[date]),2)&"-"&right(year(calendar[date])+1,2),"FY"&right(year(calendar[date])-1,2)&"-"&right(year(calendar[date]),2))

Hope this helps.
