Hi all,
I have the following data in Power Bi - I have seperated the three columns up individually however I wish to create a new year column that will display the year like 2021/22 (UK Financial Year) The year starts from April - March. I have tried other methords I found on these forums but I am unable to replicate the year followed by the forward slash / and then then the 22 afterwards.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @JayTG123 ,
Go to Power Query, select Conditional Column, insert the code:
if [Offense date.2] >= 4 then Text.Combine({Text.From([Offense date.3]),Text.From([Offense date.3]+1-2000)},"/") else Text.Combine({Text.From([Offense date.3]-1),Text.From([Offense date.3]-2000)},"/")
Pics to follow.
Let me know if you have any questions.
If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos 👍are nice too.

Hi @Nathaniel_C thank you so much for responding!! I have done exactly as you said but I am now getting an error message in the new column.. please see below:
Expression.Error: We cannot apply operator >= to types Record and Number.
Details:
Operator=>=
Left=
Offence date.2=10
Right=4
Hi @JayTG123 as it looks like you split out the date into these three columns, I assumed that they are whole numbers, am I correct?
Thank you,

Hi @Nathaniel_C Yes this was a date column (eg: 30/11/2021) but I seperated it out into three columns - did I need to do this ?
After I split the columns I then changed the type to Whole Number.
@JayTG123 I sent a link to my pbix, maybe that will be helpful.
