Calculated columns with date seperated

Hi everyone,

 

I'm looking to create new calculated columns to seperate the already existing Date column I have. 

 

I want to have one column with just the day, another column with just the month and another column with just the year.

 

Any idea on how to do this?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @gbarr12345 

 

You asked for Calculated Columns so in DAX you would use 

 

 

Day = DAY('DataTable'[Promotion_Week_Ending])
Month = MONTH('DataTable'[Promotion_Week_Ending])
Year = YEAR('DataTable'[Promotion_Week_Ending])

 

 

But if you want Custom Columns in Power Query use these

 

= Date.Day([Promotion_Week_Ending])
= Date.Month([Promotion_Week_Ending])
= Date.Year([Promotion_Week_Ending])

 

Regards

 

Phil
