    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    30 in the TRLO[TRL_DAG] stands for 2030, right?

    Adding two digits to 2000 turns it into a four-digit year.

     

    DATO = DATE(2000+TRLO[TRL_DAG], TRLO[TRL_DMND], TRLO[TRL_AAR])

     

    Then you can change the format you want.

     

     

     

    Best Regards,

Anonymous Try this DAX Column:

Date Column = FORMAT(DATE(DateTable[Year],DateTable[Month],DateTable[Day]),"dd.mm.yy")

    Thank you very much.

    I tried: 

    DATO = FORMAT(DATE(TRLO[TRL_DAAR], TRLO[TRL_DMND], TRLO[TRL_DAG]), "yy.mm.dd")

    and this one too:
     
    DATO = FORMAT(DATE(TRLO[TRL_DAAR], TRLO[TRL_DMND], TRLO[TRL_DAG]), "dd.mm.yy")

    I still get error message (in english like this): One argument in function DATE has wrong data type, or the result is too big or too small.

    Best regards

      Anonymous Make sure all Year, Month, and Day columns are of type interer or whole number. They should not be a text column.
