Bad Date Field - Can't stop Many to Many Issue

Hello,

 

I have a table that I need to connect to a calendar table, however the only field I have that is date related is in the format "Week32 2019"

 

I have a calendar table with tons of fields, but I can't get it connected without a Many to Many connection. 

 

I've tried every thing I can think of... I have a feeling it's a simple solution. Any suggestions?

  • Please convert the week to a weekend date. The following will convert it into the Weekend date.

    Weektodate = date(RIGHT('Date'[Week Format],4),1,1)+(mid('Date'[Week Format],5,SEARCH(" ",'Date'[Week Format])-5 )*7)  - (WEEKDAY(date(RIGHT('Date'[Week Format],4),1,1)))

    You might need a few changes if there difference in your format.

     

    Appreciate your Kudos. In case, this is the solution you are looking for, mark it as the Solution. In case it does not help, please provide additional information and mark me with @
    Thanks.
