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.
Solved! Go to Solution.
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])

Phil
