Build a valid date with DATE function (dd.mm.yy)

[Anonymous]

Dear all,

I have some issues with building a valid date from this source:

I have tried:

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

I guess the formula fails because of the two character year. Any suggestions?

Best regards

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.

@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.

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

@Anonymous , Not very clear.

In the date function DATE you should give Year, month , date

Ate you giving those values ?
